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/)

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.
