Summary
Shoe (incomplete) with turned up toe, medieval in style, or Turkish? Seems to match a piece of cut canvas (COT.T.200) decorated with velvet squares and cord, of matching size to the shoe. The latter was found with a semi-eliptical piece of canvas partially (presumably once fully) coated in a red substance resembling wax.
