Wheelchair made of woven cane on wood base. Wheels metal, with rubber rims - two large wheels at the front, and a single pivoting wheel at the rear. Remnants of sponge rubber taped onto the handles at the back suggest original padding, since deteriorated. Remnants of tape on arms also. Crude base frame appears home made.
