Fakirs Sandals
£15.00 – £55.00
Pair of fakir’s sandals, with iron spikes through soles and wooden toe pegs, Indian, 1871-1920
Studded with nails, these sandals were worn by a fakir, a
Muslim or Hindu religious figure in India who lives solely off
donations and leads a life of fasting, prayer and abstinence. The
sandals are worn to show the power of the fakir’s spirit to conquer
physical pain. By overcoming the sensation of pain, through many years
of practice, fakirs hope to achieve spiritual enlightenment.
