A Helping Hand

bronze hand
This is my desk and my computer and the little bronze hand you see I bought on eBay last week. When it arrived it was much smaller than I had anticipated it was 9cms not 9 inches (note to self - get eyes tested). I loved it immediately despite it's tinyness. I had no idea what to do with it until something fell out of the power socket of my computer and obviously went up the vacuum cleaner. Bear with me here - the power plug wouldn't stay in the socket so Harvey put the hand under it to keep it in place.
Isn't it beautiful and very useful?

Your hand is great, and it's just so darn functional don't you think? :-) I have quite a few cousins to yours, but mine have clips on the back. Does yours?

It's very beautiful. You don't want to know how many hands I have. I bought 8 just last week. Obsession.
