Palmistry is the art of analysing the physical features of the hands to interpret personality characteristics and predict future happenings. Though its precise origins remain unknown, it's believed that palmistry began in ancient India, spreading throughout the Eurasian landmass to China, Tibet, Persia, Egypt, and Greece. In fact, Aristotle detailed palm reading in his work De Historia Animalium (History of Animals) 2,500 years ago. It was his view that "Lines are not written into the human hand without reason."
Small enough to fit comfortably on your desk or display shelf, this ceramic palmistry hand resembles the tools of old, used to help learn to read palms.
