And did King Tut like his breakfast croissant buttered, or with jam?
The 3,300-year-old ceremonial leather sandals of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, discovered in his Valley of the Kings tomb (KV62), feature painted and gilded depictions of foreign captives and the Nine Bows on the inner soles, allowing the king to symbolically trample Egypt’s enemies with every step.
Symbolic Design: Captive figures representing traditional northern and southern neighbors of Egypt are painted where the feet rest. The Nine Bows: The traditional motif symbolizing the unified foes of Egypt appears on the toe and heel areas. Materials: Expertly crafted from leather, wood, gold leaf, and fine detailing.
