About the Item

19th century Turkish bath clog, or Nalin, walnut with mother of pearl and silver wire inlay. Ottoman Empire, worn to the public bath houses or Hammam. The purpose of the elevated platform design is to keep one's feet above the wet floors. Nalın making was a highly esteemed artisanal occupation. Different regions in Turkey were famous for their specialties, mother of pearl inlays came from Sinop and Gaziantep. In the hammam, you could tell a woman’s social standing based on what kind of clogs she wore. They were status symbols. An interesting and eye catching artifact, this beautifully crafted item is a small work of sculpture. A wonderful conversation starter. 5 inches high 6 wide 9 long
