About the sculpture
This life-size, clenched right fist has a large, protruding thumb, and it is broken below the wrist. The very heavy hand is a solid casting from approximately 2 cm inside the break at the wrist, which is also very thick and uneven. There is an unrepaired casting flaw or crack around almost the entire base of the hand, and there are various other unrepaired, irregular flaws from the wrist up the back of the hand, between the thumb and forefinger, and in the palm.
