SOLD Lovely Old Carved Glove Mannequin with Jointed Thumb antique kaleidioscope just great proportionsSuch long fingers! A very lovely carved hand mannequin with jointed thumb (at first I thought a repair, but have found other examples made this way; thumb does not move but I love the suggestion of it, as if doing a lot of texting!)) and black stained round base, c. 1920s 40s.
