Today's post features a sock discovered in #Egypt I's divided at the big toe - a design intended for use with thonged sandals. The sock is made of wool using the nalbinding technique (single needle looping). Several similar socks have been found in Egypt, preserved due to the aride desert climate.
Dating 5th/6th c. AD.
