Italian term

con i pattini

Italian to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
I'm having trouble deciding on the best word to use for "pattini" in the sentence below. This is from a short paper about an artist's work for the Biennale.

Tra mille difficoltà ce l’ho fatta ma soprattutto ho nascosto tra la retinatura grafica del disegno del leone *con i pattini*, una parola...

Thanks in advance!

Hi Angela, I also thought skates, but I wasn't sure. I don't have a photo and the paper is very short, so there is really no context.
Angela Arnone Nov 16, 2008:
Skates or slippers might be another possibility.

che tipo di pattini sono?
Angela Arnone Nov 16, 2008:
Hi Karla,
have you seen this image? Sounds like the lion is wearing skates. Is that possible?
