About MeLong shoe horn in shape of a knee-high riding boot or similar. The original curve and grain of the horn has been retained, but the tip of the horn has been heated and moulded to produce the ankle of the boot. Above the carved boot, the shoe horn has decorative edges for approximately half the length.

This is likely to be a hand-crafted piece, rather than an industrially produced one, and is thus likely to be unique.
