Description
Did you know that the ancient Egyptians made prosthetic body parts? This sketch would depict one example of these, a big toe made from three wooden pieces stitched together that was found in a necropolis west of modern Luxor. It would have belonged to a priest’s daughter who lived around 3,000 years ago, and it seems to have been designed for comfort and mobility as well as looking as naturalistic as possible.
