A sculptural replica of a mummified human hand, produced by Ministry of Obscurity and presented beneath a clear glass dome on a dark, weighted base.

The hand is rendered with elongated fingers and desiccated surface texture, evoking the appearance of preserved anatomical or ritual objects associated with early medical study, folklore, and gothic symbolism.

Subtle surface detailing and tonal variation contribute to the illusion of age and preservation, while the composition references historical reliquaries and cabinet-of-curiosities displays.

This piece is a deliberate artistic interpretation rather than a biological specimen, created to explore themes of mortality, anatomy, and the historic fascination with the human form.

Such works draw on 18th- and 19th-century traditions of anatomical collecting, blending macabre aesthetics with contemporary object-making.

The display is well suited to interiors focused on gothic, occult, or curiosity-driven collections, as well as those interested in modern reinterpretations of historical scientific artefacts.

Care instructions
For indoor display only. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive humidity. Clean the glass dome gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid handling the interior elements.
