I wish I could tell you more about this. All I know is that the hand and the propeller are hand carved wood painted with a gold tone finish. The a-bomb is made out of some type of old foam that was also painted. The hand and the propeller are in great shape. The foam is old and crackling but still holding together. It’s mostly just the surface that’s got a bunch of cracks and some missing pieces on the front as you can see. The shape of the a-bomb is still intact. Made towards the end of world war II as a message to the Axis forces. I’m pretty sure I don’t need to explain what the message says considering it states it pretty clearly in the sculpture itself. Unfortunately I do not have any idea who made it or where it was made. A friend of mine said it reminded them of the flying fickle finger of fate the old TV show laughin but if you look up pictures of that object it is completely different. This is definitely not the flying fickle finger.
