A ROMAN BRONZE HAND, CIRCA 1ST-2ND CENTURY A.D.

Reference: ART600579

A life-size right hand cast and chased, broken off at the wrist. The back is open suggesting that the hand was up against the body of a togate statue and touching a fold of the garment. Given the pose it is almost certainly from the statue of a public official where the right hand often rests on the right breast and the left hangs by the side of the body.
