30's 40's straw platform sandals with embroidered indian sacrifice/burial scene??

Oh, dang it all! They would fit me length-wise, but not width wise.... I have small feet, and they used to be narrow, but a surgery on my right foot has made the front of my foot too wide for a narrow width--which yours are. I think about 2 7/8" to 3" is a medium width in that length....
 
they probably would fit you, you know...lucky thing - that width was the hard insole (or platform width, in the pictures), the straw upper is quite a bit wider than that either side but I do tend to err on the safe side with measurements as you have to consider depth as well as width as I'm sure you know. I wasn't actually considering them for sale to wear as although they look fab in those photos they need a complete resole & re-heel and I thought there wasn't much point if they were going to be for display only!

I don't know where to put these up now, etsy or ebay I've had quite a few interested people.
 
OK this is funny in that odd sort of way. Thursday night I was channel surfing and landed on Turner Classic Movies

They were running the movie Kings of the Sun
The first scene was a sacrifice at the Mayan temple at Chichen Itza
I didnt watch the whole movie as it was pretty lame.

But then Friday I was surfing again and came across this movie
Apocalypto
The scene I came in on was the Mayan sacrifice scene in which the hero is spared due to a solar eclipse as they were about to plunge the sacred knife (bad juju!)
Now this was a good movie, very fast paced and well done!

I was thinking of these shoes, this post...and how odd to encounter this subject matter in two movies in two days.
 
lol I skipped Apocalypto when it came out in the cinemas because it looked like a truly naff man film, but when I watched it on Tv not long ago, thought it was brill, though it is quite gory, I liked the way it had very little talking and relied on good filming.
