Fiziksel açıklama
Knitted woollen sock, stocking stitch. Displayed behind glass. The sole, which is the most visible part, is a rounded point at the back and a point at the front. There is a border around it with a red ground and pairs of white stitches. The sole is striped, white and red, each stripe containing an isolated motif of a circle with a dark line curving to the left at the top and to the right at the bottom of the motif. The circle is red on the white stripe and light blue and yellow on the red stripe. This design, including the border, seems to continue on the rest of the sock and the cuff is patterned with a narrow border either side of a wider border with a black ground and joining X-motifs in light blue with a red diamond in the centre and diagonally placed light blue lozenges with a red centre.
