This is a pair of slippers with silver and gold metallic embroidery and beadwork details on a velvet base. It is decorated with floral motifs, and a large peony at the centre of each slipper. The elaborate use of metallic threads with beads suggests that this might have been commissioned for use at celebratory events such as weddings.
