It's pretty cold outside, so today's post is about a sock found in #Egypt. It's divided at the big toe because it was designed to be worn with thonged sandals. It's made of wool, nalbinding technique (single needle looping). Several examples of such socks are known from Egypt, where they have been preserved due to the dry desert climate. They were worn by men, women, and children. Found in #Egypt, dating 5th/6th century AD.
