DECORATED FOOTWEAR IN MEDIEVAL WROCŁAW
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
Although the percentage of decorated footwear in the series from Wrocław is relatively small the range of decorative motifs is quite varied and the level of artistry high. Based on the criterion of their execution technique we distinguished footwear decorated with embroidery, openwork, appliqués, painting , and with engraved, incised and stamped decoration. The decorative motif most common in the 12th and 13th c. was an embroidered band running in middle of the upper, from the toe to the upper edge of the shoe. During the second half of the 13th and in the 14th c. footwear decorated with openwork was popular. The archaeological material was analysed with additional data drawn from written, iconographic and archaeological sources, to establish who could have been the user of the decorated footwear, which is regarded by many researchers as a mark of luxury and social prestige. Iconography proved to be especially valuable in our inquiry as to the purpose of this type of footwear. I believe that elegant, richly ornamented footwear should be associated with festive attire, less so, with daily life.
