Rather Brilliant 1998 Agelio A S Batle Co Graphite Hand antique retable on wood The objective is to removePerhaps Ive come across one of these before in a museum gift shop and didnt really register it, but when I found this graphite hand this week in an antiques (and collectibles!) shop I thought it pretty brilliant!
