A souvenir from Holland depicting a pair of traditional Dutch wooden shoes, known as klompen.
These shoes are an important part of Dutch cultural heritage and were originally practical work shoes for farmers and laborers.
Clogs have been used in the Netherlands since the Middle Ages, with the oldest known examples dating back to around 1230.
They were traditionally made from a single piece of wood, usually from willow or poplar trees, and offered warmth and protection from moisture and dirt.
Although today they are mostly seen as a symbol of Dutch culture and sold as souvenirs, they are still used by some farmers and are even certified as safety shoes.
These specific clogs are painted red with traditional floral patterns and the text "Holland" on the side.
