This is that instinct at its most literal. A full pavé crystal seahorse, articulated in segments so it flexes across the arch, hand-enameled at the crown, fins, snout, and the curl of the tail in coral and burnt orange, with a painted eye. It runs the entire length of the vamp and doubles as the T-strap. The leather is quiet cognac calfskin, three whisper-thin bands and a double-wrap ankle strap, all of it deliberately plain so the ornament reads as sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe sole carries the VICINI stamp with Giuseppe Zanotti Design scripted on the footbed, the marker collectors look for on early production. Zanotti made a small family of sea-creature shoes during this period and they surface rarely, almost never in leather and almost never in a size this large.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArticulated pavé crystal seahorse ornament spanning vamp to toe, segmented for flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-painted enamel detailing in coral and burnt orange at the crown, dorsal fin, pectoral fins, snout, and tail spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCognac calfskin toe band, arch band, and double-wrap ankle strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetallic gold kid leather counter-strap threaded through the ankle wrap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold-tone buckle closure with keeper loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather-lined footbed with Giuseppe Zanotti Design script branding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim covered stiletto with wood-grain finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVicini leather sole, Vero Cuoio, Made in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marked EU 40½.
