This salmon covered chopine is dated by the MFA to the late 17th - early 18th, and is almost a replica of the goldenrod covered piece currently in the Bata. It is also similar to the blue velvet covered piece in the (now closed) Brooklyn Museum. After a personal conversation with the curator of the Bata Shoe Museum, it seems that this dating is the result of some confusion, and is likely a piece dating to the early 17th century.
