Collossal Hand of Constantine

This is the bronze hand of of the colossal roman statue of Constantine I, made in the years of 312-315 AD. The sculpture, all together, is said to have been 40 feet high! I am astounded by the painstaking detail and the jaw-dropping realism of the hand alone. And the hand's wear and tear -- a result of the centuries its endured -- doesn't take away from the piece: each gaping void adds character to once cold perfection, giving a truly unique mood and rhythm to the sculpture.
