Title
A post medieval cast copper alloy unidentified object in the shape of a hand
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy unidentified object in the shape of a human hand and wrist covered by a sleeve. The sleeve appears to have had a small attachment which now looks like a perforation. Some of the casting channel still remains on the right side. The reverse is recessed and follows the form of the front. The object is mostly complete, but may be missing the thumb. However, it does not appear to have been connected to a larger figurine. It is in good condition, with surface corrosion only on the reverse.

The object is 36.77 mm long, 18.86 mm wide, 2.48 mm thick and weighs 14.54 g.
