Remember the excitement of getting your feet measured for new shoes as a child? This vase is a window in time back to just such a moment 2,500 years ago. ⁠
⁠
A shoemaker cuts the leather for a new sandal, tracing a knife around the outside of a boy’s foot. The boy leans on the shoemaker’s head for balance, while another man, perhaps his father or the shop’s owner, looks on. ⁠
⁠
The majority of Athenian vases show mythical scenes, so this glimpse into everyday life is relatively rare to see!⁠
