Clothing/Dress/Costume
Pair of boy's riding boots of dark brown and black leather. The brown leather is used only on the front half of the top of the shaft, where it curves upward; this area appears to be marked with an image of a horse and rider. Short pull tabs of black leather are sewn on either side of shaft. Slightly tooled toe cap. Rounded toe; straight sole with short stacked heel. Soles are stamped "9" at toe and have nails all around edges. Machine sewn.
