[PROSTHESIS]. Leather and Wood Prosthetic Arm. N.p., late 19th to early 20th century. Prosthetic limb, hand-carved from hardwood with a realistically modeled hand and fingers fixed in a natural, slightly grasping pose. The forearm is painted and varnished, the finish showing age-related flaking and wear. The arm retains its original leather cuff and harness system, including buckled straps and padded sections designed to secure the prosthesis to the wearer's upper arm. Wear, flaking, and surface losses to wood finish; leather brittle, cracked, and partially detached. 16 x 4 x 5 ?".
