Polished brass statue peace hand sign The piece is part of a series that features the most iconic hand symbols often used by people all over the globe. The peace of “V” sign originated as a "V for Victory" symbol during WWII, popularized by Winston Churchill, but was then adopted by 1960s anti-war protesters to signify "peace,". This shifted it from wartime triumph to anti-war sentiment, although today it's also used playfully in photos. Material: polished brass Dimensions: 23x10x8cm (1577g) Condition: as new
