The invention relates to a light prosthesis as a purely optical substitute for a missing limb, including a shaped body ( 1 ) for replacing the missing limb as naturally as possible and a socket ( 2 ) for connecting the prosthesis to the stump ( 3 ) of the missing limb. In order to provide such a prosthesis for temporary or permanent use without having to fulfill any functionality, thus being suitable also for elderly patients, it is contemplated that the shaped body ( 1 ) is made of a light synthetic material, and that the periphery of the socket ( 2 ) for connecting the prosthesis to the stump ( 3 ) is variable in a manner known per se. The shaped body ( 1 ) may, in particular, also be made of an elastic, air-tight synthetic material ( 9 ) and include at least one valve ( 10 ) for inflating the shaped body ( 1 ).
