The image displays a collection of approximately thirty distinct hand artifacts, primarily depicting the "figa" gesture (a closed fist with the thumb protruding between the index and middle fingers), arranged within a glass display case against a plain, light beige background. Reflections of overhead lighting are visible on the glass. Two larger artifacts are suspended at the top. The left-most is an off-white, possibly bone or ivory, forearm and figa hand, with a small, light-colored cross-like pendant attached below the fist. The right-most is a dark-colored, possibly metal or carved wood, arm and fist, featuring an ornate, embossed pattern on its upper portion and a brass band around the wrist, suspended by a metal ring. Below these, a dense grouping of smaller hand sculptures stands on a light-colored elevated platform. These varied sculptures are crafted from different materials including ceramic, wood, and potentially glass, presenting a palette of dark brown, black, amber, light brown, dark blue, and pale white tones. Some exhibit metallic rings on fingers or decorative bands around the wrist or base. A white informational sign in the bottom right corner, written in Portuguese, partially reads "1 - Figas" (Mother-of-pearl, bone and metal), "2 - Balangandã" (Metal), and explicitly states "Acervo Museu Afro Brasil." This confirms the scene is located within the Museu Afro Brasil, which is situated in Parque Ibirapuera, São Paulo, Brazil. No individuals are present in the image.
