Evocative Old Wooden Mannequin Hand in Chippy Paint sugar bowl 2nd quarter 20th century IA wonderful thing, whether the hand of an old display mannequin or a life sized santos I am not sure, though I presume the former. Great old paint, white over flesh tone, with the wood showing through in beautiful ways, and revealing carved fingernails, too. One finder lost along the way, but who cares? Approx 7 1 4" l x 3 1 4" w x 1 3 4" t. Paint chippy but not much actively chipping; sound and not fragile.
