A Soldier’s Hand Cast: Famous Hands No. 5
A hand cast displays pronounced palm creases, long fingers and a broad thumb extending to one side. The pale material stands against a dark field within an irregular oval outline. The source caption identifies Famous Hands, No. 5, Soldier. Reproduced in The Graven Palm, the cast gives the occupational comparison a strongly modelled surface.
