About the Item

Antique Gesso-Painted Hand Fragment on Stand Circa 18th–19th Century (possibly earlier) This evocative sculptural fragment represents a small gesso-painted hand, likely once part of a larger devotional or religious figure. Expertly carved from wood and finished with layers of gesso and pigment, the hand features delicately rendered fingers and subtle remnants of its original paint, suggesting age and sacred use. The stylistic simplicity and proportions may suggest origins in Southern Europe, possibly Italy or Spain, where such pieces were commonly used in Catholic religious iconography, altarpieces, or Santos figures (carved saints). The fragment is now mounted on a black display stand, making it an excellent piece for display or collection. Condition Report This antique gesso-painted hand fragment is in stable condition, showing expected wear consistent with age and historical use. The gesso layer shows areas of cracking, flaking, and minor loss, particularly around the fingertips and wrist. Traces of original pigment are still visible, though faded. Measurement Height: 10 cm / 3.9 inch Width: 16 cm / 6.3 inch Depth: 5 cm / 2 inch Weight: 0.3 kg / 0.7 Ilbs
