30 x 24 x 4cm wooden box with a sliding plexiglas cover, content of  twenty-five cardboard sheets with silkscreened images of artist's right hands including Robert Filliou, Scott Hyde, Robert Filliou, Claes Oldenburg, Andy Warhol, John Cage, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, Pol Bury, Alison Knowles, Robert Watts, Benjamin Paterson, Ay-o, , John Cage, Ray Johnson, Christo, Jasper Johns, Dick Higgins, Emmet Williams, and others. The hands could supposedly be read by a palmist or by an amateus using the plexiglas guide to the various lines.

The work followed an exhibition of  Hyde's photographs of artists' hands in the windows of Tiffany's (New York). This is one of only 150 examples numbered and signed by Filliou on the colophon. VG+.
