About this work

Description

In this image a leprosy patient is seen using a 'kodali' to dig up weeds from the soil. The handle of this farming implement has a soft rubber covering. The rubber helps to protect his anaesthetic hands from trauma. See image W0030989 for a close-up view of the handle.
