Our curators have highlighted 5 objects that are related to this one. Here are three of them, selected at random:

This proesthetic leg cover has a shin-shaped plate and black appendage as foot. There are two colors incorporated in layers for the design of the plate: a gold under layer and light tan, natural wood color overlayed on top. It includes an array of different sized and thickness of layered diamonds, diagonal squares, and diagonal rectangles, reminiscent the details of a microchip. The layered squares sit among parallel and crossing long thin lines that repeat and connect the shapes like wires on a circuitboard. The black foot at bottom is a thick, boat-shaped block with a gentle upward taper in the middle, resminiscent of a clog with a flat sole.

This proesthetic leg cover is a shin-shaped plate with black appendage as foot. The design on the forest-green leg has an intricate see-through cut out pattern. Abstract petal-shapes and repeated mandalas in what is reminiscent of lacework makes it similar to a doiley pattern. The black foot at bottom is a thick, boat-shaped block, with a gentle upward taper in the middle, resminiscent of a clog with a flat sole.

The design on leg has a elaborate gold geometric illustration of a skull made of triangles and pentagons among a gold diamond grid pattern, a mandala and swirling elements. The black foot at bottom is a thick, boat-shaped block with a gentle upward taper in the middle, resminiscent of a clog with a flat sole.
