A pair of white half boots (also called ankle boots) with silk satin uppers, leather soles and white kid leather toes and heels. These boots lace from the side and have ten pairs of eyelets, reinforced with silk thread. Boots are lined with linen. One boot is laced with a linen (or cotton) tape lace that appears to be original. The lace terminates with a brass aglet at each end. The other boot is missing a lace.
