Hand Coil
Dark bronze-colored metal object, possibly a door handle or similar fixture. Two cylindrical protrusions, one straight and smooth, the other curved with decorative elements. The curved piece features a carved rope-like design around the bottom third, and a carved face-like design on top with horizontal lines on the forehead, a nose, and mouth. A braided or woven pattern adorns the top half. A separate, textured object resembling a cap or finial sits atop the curved piece. Gray gradient background fades to black at the top. Title: Hand Coil, artist unknown.
