| Anasazi, Basket Maker II (C. 200AD– 500AD) sandal measuring 7 inches by 4.5 inches is made from twisted yucca fibers. This is a very interesting example as it is in perfect condition and shows clearly how this type is made. The sole is a crisscross weave of a twisted set of yucca fibers about 3/8" to 1/2" in diameter. Two separate twisted pieces come up from the rear to a fancy knot and two other pieces continue toward the front. The left one went between the big and second toes; the right piece between the fourth and small toe. These two extensions have a large closed loop holding them together. It appears to have been made for a child about eight years old. The sandal comes from an old Arizona collection assembled by Colonel Vaughn between the 1930's through the 80Â’s. A SMALL WHITE STONE APPEARS IN THE PICTURES TO HOLD UP THE TOP OF THE SANDAL. | ||||||
