The Limb- Sometimes the limb of the deceased is not an arm (America, England, Tuscany, and Friesland[3] ). On occasion it is a leg (Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, France [3]) or a toe (Texas [3]). Sometimes the origin of how the limb came to be is different. Sometimes the owner is born with the golden limb; sometimes it is an artificial limb to replace an amputation; and sometimes the origin of the limb is left unexplained. The gold limb is sometimes silver.
