Antique Hand Sewn Leather Embroider Infant Child/Doll Sized Mughal Mojari Shoes

Description

Welcome to my ebay store
As a doll dr. I buy a lot of doll clothing items in box lots from all over the US and Europe that often have some amazing mystery items but that I can't use. Several buyers have found great items for display, boutiques etc. In my last purchase of a large box of antique doll shoes I came across a few marvelous finds from 19th C multi strap leather button shoes to high button boots and two pairs of what I believe are foreign made shoes. See my store for another listing somewhat like this listing, a child sized leather slip on with embroidery probably same country of origin as this listing. My first thought when I saw these shoes was Lapland, but they are definitely not warm enough.
I have done some research to discover these shoes are most likely handmade antique
Mughal - Mojari shoes from India.
The
mojari
originated during the Mughal rule; in keeping with the Mughal flair for opulence, these slippers were quite ornate, often woven with gold-silver zari (thread) and encrusted with jewels to display the wealth and power of its wearer.
This style of footwear (popular to this day) had a one-of-a-kind look back when it was first created. The slippers, with their upturned toes, were also called Khussa. Apparently this style of shoes goes back to the 1600s! I don't know where or when this pair was made, so I am pricing for antique and condition. The Mojari is a closed shoe, sometimes with an extended curled toe, while juttis have flat fronts. In juttis, the rear is normally covered whereas mojari is a slip-on. Interestingly, there is no distinction between left shoe and the right one – making it a unique kind of footwear.  It was originally constructed of pure leather with superb embroidery and various embellishments, giving its wearer an ethnic appeal on any occasion – from everyday use to weddings, religious ceremonies, parties, or festivals.
They are quite small so I was not sure if they are designed for human feet, or as a sample, or for a doll or display. Someone more familiar with these may be able to enlighten me please.
They are all hand-sewn of leather that is curled up in front and embellished around with embroidery and floss pom poms. See photos. The size seems for either a newborn or Doll. The shoes are quite narrow.
They measure 1 3/8" at widest part of sole and around 5" long from bottom of heel to curved point in front.  The pair can be used interchangeably on the left or right foot as is the norm with these shoes. I imagine they would be great for a doll artist or someone with appropriate sized ethnic doll that needs some very amazing and exotic shoes. OR for decorating a shelf, doll display etc.
Beautiful antique pieces great for display. See photos please for condition and dimensions.
No issues other than age related drying of the suede upper. The sole on these is leather, not wood as in some cases.
