About this work

This image shows a black and white etching of a hand with various symbols on it. The hand is facing palm up, with the fingers spread apart. There are lines and markings on the palm and fingers, as well as some symbols that look like they might be from an ancient language. In the top-right corner of the image, there is a small crescent moon with a face on it. The background of the image is a light beige color, with some darker shading around the edges. The artist, Betye Saar, uses etching to create this unique piece.
