'''Xiaodan's Foot''' is a silver foot prosthetic that belonged to Emperor Xiaodan of the [[Daxia|Qian dynasty]]. The foot was made by the silversmiths of the Royal Foundry of [[Caphiria]]n Imperator [[Panocoscăr II]], who commissioned the prosthetic as a gift for the Daxian emperor. It was designed for a right foot and made of shaped silver with fine golden adornments and banded copper, inlaid saphires, rubies, garnets, emeralds, mother pearl and glass. It was held in place by strips of fine horse leather that have since rotted away. Emperor Xiaodan was reputedly one of the most obese emperors in [[Daxia]]n history, losing his right foot due to complications from gout when he was only 35 years old. | '''Xiaodan's Foot''' is a silver foot prosthetic that belonged to Emperor Xiaodan of the [[Daxia|Qian dynasty]].
