Beaded slippers

In Malaysia and Singapore, these were known as kasut kodok (frog slippers), kasut beridong (nose slippers), and kasut tongkang (bumboat slippers). They generally curve upwards at the toe to varying degrees; the curve tends to be less accentuated in Singapore and Malaysia. A half-moon toe piece stitched to the vamp (top part of the shoe, covering the toes), contributes to their distinctive shape. Until the 1900s, flat-nose slippers were the most prevalent form of Nyonya slippers. This pair is decorated with glass beads and flora embroidery.
