Prosthetic Leg, c. 1891-1930

Artificial right leg, Europe, 1891-1930. This artificial leg looks like a leather boot laced to the knee. It was designed for someone who had their right foot amputated just above the ankle joint. The wooden foot and ankle are jointed and can bend. The remains of the lower leg are supported by the strong steel bar.
