APPENDAGE ART.

Wooden model
One like this stands on a shelf in my office. Probably a common item in artists’ studios (The ones with canvases and oil paints.)

Pointers
There are endless variants on this theme. And they’re usually the hands of men wearing a shirt and jacket.

International understanding
To avoid making an embarrassing social mistake, it’s good to know what various hand gestures mean around the world.
