Broken from the rest of the left arm some distance above the wrist, this fragment preserves much of the left forearm and the entire hand. The fingernails and folds of the palm are finely modeled, giving the hand a lifelike appearance. The positioning of the fingers and thumb suggests that the hand once gently grasped something, perhaps a slender branch of the now-lost tree. The thumb and fingers are solid bronze, while the rest of this section is hollow.
