PROSTHETIC LIMB

A prosthetic limb in the style of a 'peg leg' had a large area of lose around the leather top.


BREFORE TREATMENT

Prosthetic Limb Before Treatment

The wadding used to pad the interior of the leather was coming out, this needed to be supported to prevent lose.

It was decided to support the structure so that the wadding/construction was still visible, this provided more information about the object to visitors.
