Jaipur Limb Campaign
The photo on the website shows the foot and ankle of the Jaipur leg in close-up. The foot is dark flesh-coloured, while the leg above is silver. The toe nails of the foot have been painted red, and the foot itself has been decorated with red patterns. Around the ankle is a leather ankle bracelet, decorated with a triple row of bells.
In front of the foot, and around the podium where the Jaipur limb is displayed, artificial flowers are scattered. Within the exhibition, this reflects the fact that a video about the Jaipur Limb Campaign is playing nearby, featuring a dancer who performs Indian classical dance while wearing a similar limb.
