“这绝对是巨大的，我们花了四个小时才把它从卡车上取下来

A mysterious hand that was created around 3,500 years ago and is believed to be Europe’s oldest prosthetic limb will go on display in the UK for the first time this week.

The artefact, which experts think may also have doubled as a knife, was discovered in western Switzerland in 2017.

It is made from bronze with a gold cuff and dates to between 1,500 和 1,400 公元前.

The hand has been on display only once before, making a brief appearance in 德国, but will now be part of the ‘World of Stonehenge’ exhibition at the British Museum.

Detectorists found the hand buried in a human grave near Lake Biel, along with a hair ornament, bronze dagger and cloak pin.

Neil Wilkin, curator at the British Museum, said it was most likely to have been used as a prosthetic limb, although some experts have disputed this because the human remains had decayed too much to confirm that it fitted the individual.

‘It’s a completely astonishing object – we’ve never seen anything like it,’ Dr Wilkin told the 电报.

He said the hand may also have functioned as a weapon because of its sharp, flat fingers, while an alternative theory is that it could have been a drinking vessel inspired by Mesopotamian culture.

‘The fingers have a sharpness to them and, curiously, it doesn’t show a fist that’s clenched,’ Dr Wilkin added.

‘It shows the fingers protruding and, even if they weren’t used as blades, they have that appearance.’

He also believes the hand, with its gold cuff and detailed engraving, belonged to someone of high status, 说: ‘It’s so bespoke looking it suggests that someone’s had the power or the status to commission something that is quite unique.’

Experts say the engraving appears to be solar artwork, which would place it within a broader, shared European culture that revered the sun.

The limb, which dates to a time in the Middle Bronze Age where an increase in continental trade — especially involving certain metals — led to huge cultural change, will go on display as part of an exhibition which focuses on the decline of Stonehenge as a significant monument.

在这段时期, greater emphasis was placed on material objects as a sign of social status, which shifted power away from ancestral monuments.

The public will be able to see the limb, along with the world’s oldest surviving map of the sky and a ‘talismanic’ 大英博物馆在新石器时代新展览的中心揭开了宝藏，包括世界上现存最古老的星图和“护身符”, 杰弗里·帕尔默和朱迪·丹奇.
