Pattens from Vezelay Statuary

Shoes

I thought since we had some brief discussions on pattens that folks might enjoy the scans I just put up of what appear to be pattens.

I found the photos in the book, “Vezelay The Great Romanesque Church” by Veronique Rouchon Mouilleron. I thought the walking staff with the flared bottom that you see next to the patten in view 2 is interesting as well.
