Posted By: Leonard B Mon, Sep 07, 2020 It looks like a Buddhist Mudra (symbolic hand gesture) but as far as the purpose of the piece, I couldn't tell you. Incense burner may be possible. |

Posted By: Bill H Tue, Sep 08, 2020 You have a Buddha hand with fingers in the 'Karana Mudra' or pose of warding off evil. Seems to be modified with a cavity for burning joss or incense. The writing may be Chinese but isn't distinct enough to make out. |
