Also known as "Lapti Obereg"

This charm will bring its happy owner good luck, happiness and prosperity! The most archaic form of foot-wear, which existed in ancient Russia, is Lapti or Bast Sandals, plaited from the bast inner bark of linden, birch and other species of tree. Bast shoes have been worn since prehistoric times: wooden foot-shaped blocks used to shape bast shoes are found in neolithic excavations. Bast shoes were still worn in the Russian countryside by the beginning of the 20th century. In modern times bast shoes are sold as souvenirs and sometimes used in the attire of ethnographic music or dance troupes. A spirit from Old Slavonic folklore, Lapti will bring wealth into your house. This Lapti collage is made of various symbols which attract good luck and prosperity. Birch leaves & branches are symbolic of money. Sunflower is placed on these unique Bast Shoes in order to bring warmth and comfort to the household as well as attract beauty. Baked goods represent wealth, while beans are symbolic of a strong family, strong ties within the family, healthy kids and sun energy.
