The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Container in the shape of a Buddha’s hand, by artist Lillian Dangoor. The object is a clear glass or crystal sculpture carved into the shape of a human hand with fingers curled inward. The object is lying on its side with the palm facing up. The sculpture has a hollowed-out center. The object is made of clear glass or crystal with a pinkish tint. A smaller version of the same object is to the right. The background is a gray gradient, dark at the top and light at the bottom. The objects cast shadows on the surface below them.
