Inspired by Maxwell Hoffman's Eye wards, the Philosophers' Hand is a motif depicting a hand with arcane symbols: the fish, the key, the sun, a lantern, the star, and others. This mixed-media piece is an amulet for power, wisdom, and protection. Calling upon the image of the Philosopher's Hand. Hand-painted and decopodged from Manly P. Hall's The Secret Teaching of All Ages, this collage piece is lacquered in matt varnish, and tied with black twine. Perfect for hanging.
