As well as her amazing 'modern' footwear, this Mongolian 'seamstress' went to the afterlife with four changes of clothes, her sewing kit, a horse and a ram's head.
New pictures of the mummy's remarkable red striped boots - first highlighted by The Siberian Times in April last year and now cleaned up after being buried in a grave for around 1,100 years - have been released. When they were first seen, they were immediately likened to the Adidas design.
Now their modish appearance is even clearer, and it intrigues Mongolian archeologists and ethnographers.
One local fashion expert said: 'Overall they look quite kinky but stylish - I wouldn't mind wearing them now in a colder climate.
