A single woman's stilted bath clog (known as Nalin) from the Ottoman Empire. The object is carved from a single block of wood in the shape of an elevated platform with two teeth at the bottom. Both the platform and teeth are inlaid with cut mother of pearl and silver-coloured metal wire. The shoe's leather strap, covered by a woven ribbon of metallic flowers and purple leaves, would hold the clog to the wearer's feet.

Urban upper-class women used such footwear to elevate them from dirty water and slippery floors in public bathhouses (hammams). With their luxurious decoration, added height and clacking sound they reflected the status of their wearer.
