Fragment of a Lower Arm and Hand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Greenish metal sculpture of a lower arm and hand, with the arm bent at the elbow and the hand curled inward. The arm is adorned with a thin band around the middle. The end of the arm appears to be broken off, revealing a dark, rough interior surface with red specks. The sculpture has a textured, weathered appearance, with visible signs of aging and wear. It is set against a plain beige background. Title: Fragment of a Lower Arm and Hand.
