200. Votive hand of Sabazius The right hand of the god Sabasius is in the characteristic position for making the sign of the cross (benedictio Latina); the thumb and index-finger are outstretched, the middle finger is slightly bent, while the ring finger and little finger are pressed against the palm. The index and middle fingers make the shape of the letter V. The snake is enveloped around the wrist and then diagonally around the back of the hand up and around the index-finger. Its head with a stylized crest, is slightly stretched to the side and above the index-finger. The two holes at the bottom of the wrist are so that the piece may be secured. - 3rd century A.D. - H: 9,4 cm; bronze - Sotin (Cornacum) -ZAM, Inv. no. 4593.
