An Exceptionally Lined Palm: The Graven Palm, Figure 240
A dense network of crossing lines spreads over the palm and continues into the fingers. Several darker strokes interrupt the finer mesh. The source identifies Figure 240 and connects the hand with a biographical case in the author’s palmistry discussion. The image records that historical interpretive practice, with the extraordinary density of lines serving as its most conspicuous visible feature.
