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.
