A single human hand holds a large Giant African Land Snail (likely *Lissachatina fulica*) in an open-palmed grasp. The snail's shell is conical, spiraled, and approximately 15-20 centimeters in length, exhibiting a dark brown coloration with irregular lighter tan longitudinal striations, and appears to have fine particulate matter (dirt/sand) adhered to its surface. The snail's soft body, dark grayish-brown and textured, is partially extended from the shell and rests on the palm. The human hand is light-to-medium complexioned with visible creases. The background consists of an out-of-focus concrete or paved ground surface, appearing damp or reflective in areas. A circular, dark metal grate or manhole cover with a radial pattern is partially visible in the lower-left background. The scene takes place in an urban outdoor environment within Pattaya City, Thailand, under diffused lighting conditions consistent with dusk or night.
