English term or phrase: cloud- toes
Again from a museum guide, describing a Chinese statue:
"Only a few other tomb figures have been found which show ladies in long coats, and these show the coat draped over both shoulders. More common are the turned up **cloud-toes** of her shoes, and her hair has been combed up from the nape of the neck, parted in the centre at the forehead, and fastened with stylish gilt hairpins featuring a gold floral motif."
