    OK...we have a 'statue' of a hand, holding what looks like a quarter, and its next to a broken Venetian blind...

    Am I missing something?

    You are partially correct. This is currently in my garage in the corner (so that is wood in the background). In person the hand is holding what looks like a marble or glass ball.

    Yes, it is bronze and there is a wood stand beneath it. I am going to try to take it to some local shops to see if I can pinpoint what it is.

    Now that is coolio. Maybe it was bolted into a wall in order to hang stuff on? Or... it does look like a number of bronze hand "studies" which are then put on a wood base, or even marble.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    The year that is in the bottom of Bev's post is not for your item. It's part of her signature that appears at the bottom of all of her posts.
