Prehistoric Sandal -- Stermer COA
|
SANDAL - 9" long x 4" wide and from southwest CO. Made of Yucca fiber and found in a dry cave. This is a very rare artifact from the Late Prehistoric Period dating in the 1400 AD - 1600 AD range. Stermer's COA describes it as "a medium-size sandal fragment that has been fashioned from yucca fibers and was attached with cordage when worn. This example is nearly intact, missing only a small portion in the heel area. This is a rarely found artifact type due to its perishable nature". A very well preserved and interesting find. Ben Stermer COA included.
