Unusual small heavy black painted metal hand figure statue sculpture ideal for a halloween display/prop or simply as an unusual paperweight/desk/shelf piece.

 

The item is in good condition with no significant damage (chips/cracks) which I could find. Please see the photos for a more detailed view of the item to judge for yourself its condition. There may be the odd bump/manufacturing fault as is common in vintage/antique items. I have tried to take photos from every angle so this should help you form a decision as to its condition/age/authenticity.

 

I am unsure of the exact age of this item but it is definitely not modern. If I had to guess I would say it was antique and probably late C19th - early C20th (1880-1920). The black paint is probably later. I would guess it is made from cast iron and was originaly desiged as a medical anatomy teaching aid or possibly as a artists teaching aid. Please note that those are just my personal opinions and any further information on this item or suggestions are welcome.

 

Measures roughly 13cm high.

 

Weighs roughly 540g which is a substantial weight for its size.

 

Please note that there is chipping to the paint as expected from an old piece.

 

The item has been well cared for and has seen very little use. The item will be sent well packaged and not just thrown into a plastic bag/cardboard box. Postage combined where possible. Willing to post overseas through eBay GSP. Smoke free seller.
