Tall Wooden Arm and Hand (Mold?) postcard with drawing but have a special fondness

but have a special fondness for ones like these that clearly represent a consuming interest of their maker

The image itself was created by Ernest Matthey-Guenet

they retain their histories but live on with no tasks to perform

making her feel extra special

This mug was I believe made from a mold

Tall Wooden Arm and Hand (Mold?) postcard with drawing but have a special fondnessI'm guessing this was probably made as a mold, but I'm not completely sure. While fairly crudely done, I like it as a gesture of a raised hand, as if saying "I know the answer" and forever waiting to be called upon! 17 1 4" t x 6 1 2" w x 3 1 8" d (at base). Very good condition, pine I believe, with some darkening to the wood near the end of the arm.
