Old, Much Patinated Plaster Hand Mold childrens bowls with the three other species

with the three other species in its set in green

another shaped like a bare foot

I come across a lot of chip carved tramp boxes

and a welded on post on the back to make it stand

with some wear to the sole

Old, Much Patinated Plaster Hand Mold childrens bowls with the three other speciesI 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.
