屐屧鼻繩 Pyeonggyeokjiapgo (평격지압고)
Geukseolbiseung is the cord tied through the toe of a straw sandal. The text calls for one worn so long it is fraying apart, burnt to ash and taken in water, and records that a left sandal abandoned on the road was called cheollima (千里馬). It is an object of old folk practice, no longer in use.
