A silversmith skillfully made this silbereinband, or solid silver binding, in the late 17th century. The artist, possibly from Bavaria, executed the design in relief. Christ, holding a cross, is represented on the spine, with a snake and a skull at his feet, symbolizing his triumph over Satan & death. On the front of the binding is a beautiful interpretation of the Last Supper, similar to the style of Italian sculptures of the sixteenth century. 2 silver clasps are adorned with floral motifs.

Shoes were simple, made from leather called a turn shoe. However, men of high fashion in later periods began to wear shoes called Crakows or poulaines. They were long pointed shoes that are said to have come from Poland. They became fashionable in the 1300s. While they were worn by women, they were more of a man’s shoe and could reach impractical lengths.
