Shoes
“Shoes!” Deanna shrieked.
“Women and their shoes.” Wil remarked playfully. “I guess it means this vessel belongs to a woman?”
“Look, they say what they are.” She rejoiced. The first case they came upon was a tall pair of black platforms. Deanna read the gold inscription plate aloud. “Pair of women’s bath clogs. Turkey, 1850 – 1900. Made of wood and inlaid with mother of pearl, this type of platform clog was worn by Turkish women in bathhouses to protect their feet from wet floors.”
Wil read the next inscription for a red platform thong with Jade jewels. “Pair of women’s ‘getas’. Japan orca 1963. The highest – class Japanese geisha traditionally wore high platform wooden “getas’. A very practical shoe,they kept the hem of the Kimonos out of the dirt. During cold weather cotton socks called “tabi” are worn with a toe divide for the thong.”
“Those are the strangest looking socks.” Deanna commented.
“Wow!” Geordi exclaimed. “Who knew shoes had such a history?” He walked to the next case. “Ooh, check this out. He read the inscription plate aloud. “Replica of a 350,000 B.C. footprint left on a volcanic slope in southern Italy called ‘Devils Trail’.”
The hall had six doors leading off of it, three on each side. Data stood in front of one door. It slid open. The only thing in this solid white room was a black chair. “Okay,” Geordi broke the silence as he sat in the chair. The room went dark and lights began to dance all around them, lights of every color. He laid back in the chair. “Wow.” He exclaimed.
