1972 Press Photo Dr. Doppelfeld Director Roman German Museum with Glass Shoes

Glass Shoes Out of the Roman Aera Discovered Two shoes out of glass... ... are the sensation at the moment for the scientists in the Roman German Museum in Cologne. 1,700 years ago they were made in Roman Glassworks, which were specialised for shoddy pottery. Amateur archaeologists digged them out without informing the owner of the estate owner and gave the shoes to the museum. The value of the glass shoes is inestimable. OPS: Dr. Doppelfeld, the director of the Roman German Museum in Cologne with the glass shoes.
