Hand carved and painted 5 1/2" Dutch wooden shoes Belgium 1940's or 50's

Description

These shoes were given to me as a child in the 1950's by a neighbor who came to the US after WWII. So, they are from that decade or earlier.  The shoes appear to be hand carved.  I am not sure what was applied by the artist to make the raised thumbprint decoration on them.  Some of the paint has chipped off in the area shown in the photo, but overall the decoration is intact.
