Does anyone know anything about these? I found them too interesting to pass. Dug outside the town of Mattawa ontario 50+ years ago.
Thanks! Steve

Feet from the remains of a statue?

Well it could be anything from the traveling Pompeii exhibit to
An early Canadian shop owners sign advertising for foot Dr.

Thank you for the responses. I have updated the photographs for better representation :) in early indigenous history, would they use something like these for a moccasin form?

Steven.cote, I thought of that myself, but it seemed impractical.

For one thing, you'd need a whole set to accommodate all the different sizes of feet.

Here are some explorations/discussions on the subject of moccasin lasts:
