Description |
One in a pair of small black wooden shoes--this is the proper left shoe. The clog is carved entirely from wood and has been painted black. The toe of the shoe is almost level, but the proper front of the shoe is sharply upturned and comes to a blunted point. The back of the heel and the sole of the shoe are very thick. |

Provenance |
According to the Description of Gift Material in the Deed of Gift, the children's shoes belonged to donor Elie Steffensen's mother, Karen Thinghøj Pedersen, and were likely worn by Karen as a child. The donor, Elie Steffensen, and her brother Paul Egon Thinghøj Pedersen, immigrated with their parents, Christian and Karen Thinghøj Pedersen, in 1929 and settled primarily in Chicago, Illinois. The museum's collection also contains a cooking utensil, called a krustadejern, that was originally owned by Karen Thinghøj Pedersen. The krustadejern was use to mold pastry cups. Its catalog number is 1988.022.001. |
