8.75" x 17.75" x 17.5"
Platform Man was a familiar site on the New York subways in the 1970's. He had only half a body,
the other half lost by a mine in Vietnam. Forgotten by the country he served, he was forced to
ride on his wood platform maneuvering it with his gloved hands and begging with his tin cup.
