These exceptionally well-preserved leather women's shoes may have been originally purple or red. They were extensively embellished with gold leaf, embroidery, linen and silk thread. From Akhmim in Egypt, ca. 300-500 AD. https://t.co/Pq7VaZ7lb7

Not to be confused with our modern day Christmas Cake, the Twelfth Cake was rich, crumbly and packed with lot of dried fruits and spices then decorated sumptuously with icing and topped with two crowns for the King & Queen of Misrule.
