Old, Much Patinated Plaster Hand Mold vintage bouncy ball 2" t x 2" wI have no idea the maker behind this plaster mold, but it's certainly a handmade one, and appears quite an old one, too, perhaps made for casting hands for dolls or puppets, but maybe the work of a sculptor. Richly patinated and wonderfully crusty whatever the case, and just an excellent object, which stands on its own, hand raised, on a flat surface. 6" x 3 1 8" x 1 1 4". Good much used condition, rich and crusty patina.
