1st century AD. A bronze left hand from a statue, with full open palm, the fingers carefully detailed, wonderful rendering of nails and finger joints, complete and preserved with a substantial part of the wrist. See Boucher, S. & Tassinari, S., Musée de la Civilisation Gallo-Romaine à Lyon: Bronzes Antiques. Tome 1 Inscriptions, Statuaire, Vaisselle, Lyon, 1976, drawings for similar specimens on p.86; Pesando F. & Guidobaldi M.P., Gli ozi di Ercole: residenze di lusso a Pompei ed Ercolano, Roma, 2006. 214 grams, 10cm (4"). From a private collection formed in the Netherlands; previously in a European collection formed prior to 1980. The position of the open hand recalls the famous statue of the dancing Satyr of Pompeii, although this statue has two bent fingers, while in our hand all the fingers are extended: the quality of the sculpture and the refinement of the details place this artwork at the highest point of Roman imperial art in the second half of 1st century AD.
