11"x12"x4" Hands are one of the primary symbols for humans. They symbolize power, are highly expressive, and even have religious context. Catholicism historically preserves the relics of saints in reliquaries, a simultaneously curious and repulsive practice. This handbag venerates the human hand and its roots.
