Anatomical model of a human right hand
Description
Anatomical reproduction of a human right hand, showing the bones, muscles, nerves and vascular system. It comprises 16 assembled parts, a metal brace supporting the wrist, attachments to other anatomical elements, and numbered circular labels.
The piece is part of a larger set, and it is likely that an accompanying manual existed at one point.
