Vintage and ancient hand diagrams

I've always loved hands, and I have a small collection of hand shaped items. Today I'm sharing hand ephemera, including palmistry diagrams and ancient  illustrations of the hand.

Hope some of these diagrams will come in handy for you.  (oooh, that was bad. Sorry!)
