The bronze hand of Irulegi: picture
The bronze hand of Irulegi: picture
A life-size bronze right hand, probably hung at a doorway, with four lines of text in a variant of the Palaeohispanic script. Its editors read it as Vasconic and compare the first word, sorioneku, with Basque zorion, "good fortune"; a comparative-method test found the evidence inconclusive.
