It was a glorious Azalea day at Middleton Place.

This marble statue of woman putting on a sandal survived the Civil War and now watches over a pond surrounded by azaleas and Spanish Moss.

The marble statue is circa 1810, by Rudolph Schadow, and is also known as “Sandal Binder” for the German “Die Sandalenbinderin.”
