Abstract

This article shows the inventiveness and wisdom that the Mochica surgeons had in creating a wooden orthopedic prosthesis to diminish the disability of those who had had a foot amputated. It also emphasizes the ability of Mochicas ceramicists to represent in their works, with impressive veracity, people using prosthetics to replace the foot that was amputated.
