Cast rubber hand on wooden base.

| The rubber hand is ingrained with grime - it looks like the hand of a man who has spent his life working. And you've doubtless heard the stories .. the man who at last is let go, retired, put out to pasture .. call it as you wish. He perhaps starts playing bowls, but his heart isn't in it. His life isn't in it. |
