Romano: "Side by side sandaled feet with finished end before ankle and flat bottom, from a statuette. Double straps cross feet behind the toes with tong between the big toe and second toe, decorated with a diamond-shape on top. Toes are elongated forming curved contour at front. Incised line at base of fragment indicates a low sole. Beveled gouge separates feet which rise in curve to finished end."
