and I believe either Dutch or German

And the back on this I think is just about as beautiful as the front

There are fold lines along the legs of a few

I am not entirely certain as I'm not especially adept at identifying metals but it seems likely to me the body of the piece is bronze and the base and lid brass

Antique Schoolgirl Cut Paper Hand, Framed antique penmanship practice produced by Charles Goodall &There's a bit of glare reflection in photos, but this is really a lovely old cut paper hand, with detailing at the cuff that makes it feel especially special. Cut from lined paper long ago, surely by a school child, with plenty of toning staining to the paper now, all to the good. I purchased it from a paper deal at Brimfield and put it in this old wooden frame, walnut I believe, to keep it safe and forever reaching! Framed: 7 1 8" x 5 3 8". Very good
