Description:
Very rare postcard showing what a woman’s foot looked like having had foot binding.
The Chinese custom of foot binding originated among upper class court dancers during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in C10th China, then gradually became popular among the elite during the Song dynasty. The horrific process was an extreme application and distortion of the feet by applying tight binding to the feet of young girls to modify the shape and size of their feet.
