Victorian Prosthetic Hand l Unknown Source

the photo does have a source! this prosthetic is housed in the london science museum. its appearance is atypical to other prosthetics of the time, so its user probably covered the hand with a glove, but the ability of each steel joint to be able to articulate would’ve proved useful to the person who wore it (https://victorianachronists.wordpress.com/2013/03/28/medical-advancements-victorian-era-prosthetics/)

“Come back!  Come back!  To Mordor we will take you!  The Ring!  The Ring!”

-The Nazgul/Ringwraiths, The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien

PS – “Then the leader, who was now half across the Ford, stood up menacing in his stirrups, and raised up his hand.  Frodo was stricken dumb.  He felt his tongue cleave to his mouth, and his heart labouring.  His sword broke and fell out of his shaking hand.  The elf-horse reared and snorted.  The foremost of the black horses had almost set foot upon the shore.”

The Silmarillion aesthetic | Mahtan & his wife, parents of Nerdanel

Mahtan
was a Noldorin Elf and the father of Nerdanel, the wife of Fëanor. Mahtan was a skilled smith in Valinor learning the arts of metal and stone work under the direction of the Vala Aulë. He wore a copper circlet around his head and was known for his fondness for the metal more than gold.

Mahtan had a beard, which was unusual for an Elf especially one as young as he.
