Antique 30’s large prosthetic wooden leg

This wooden leg has actually been worn and made it possible for its wearer to walk again after losing his, or her lower leg.
The prosthesis could be fastened by a leather strap on the wearers stump.

This is an unique oddity that would fit perfectly in a medical collection or cabinet of curiosities!
It makes you fantasize about its stories, perhaps it might have been of a pirate or captain Ahab!

After alomst a century the prosthesis remains in good condition and shows a lovely patina due to time!
After that it has been treated with antique wax.
The eather parts have been cleaned and treated with leather grease.

Measurements:
Length leg: 108 cm
width leg: 21 cm
