This media file shows a close-up view of two old, worn bast shoes (lapti) resting on a wooden surface. The bast shoes are made from woven bast fiber, a traditional material for footwear in rural Eastern Europe. They appear to be very old and are covered in dust and dirt, indicating they have been used or stored for a long time. The woven texture of the shoes is clearly visible, with interlaced strips of bast forming the body of the shoe and a rope-like material used for the straps. The setting appears to be outdoors, with a blurred background suggesting a natural environment with some greenery and dry foliage. The lighting is dim, possibly indicating an overcast day or a shaded area. There are no people visible in the frame. The overall impression is one of age, rustic simplicity, and the remnants of a traditional way of life. The location context of Kryva Hora, Ukraine, further reinforces the cultural and historical significance of these bast shoes. No text is visible in the image.
