Leather sole for the left foot of which the right section of the back is missing. The front section of the sole still bears a knotted strap at 4 cm of the edge. This would have passed between the big toe and second toe and would have held the sole in place. The surface of the sole that was in contact with the foot is highly coloured, most probably because of perspiration and the reaction with the salts found in sweat. The leather is torn in several places.

Semelle de cuir du pied gauche, dont manque la partie arrière droite. Dans la partie avant de la semelle, à 4 cm du bord extérieur demeure encore une lanière nouée qui devait passer entre le gros orteil et l'index afin de maintenir la semelle. La partie supérieure de la semelle, en contact avec la plante du pied, est fortement colorée, sans doute en raison de la transpiration et de l'action des sels de la sueur. Le cuir est déchiré en plusieurs endroits.
