The acutely bent hand emerges from a stylized reptile head and with veins in relief and fingernails delineated. Haynes notes that hand-shaped fire-rakes have been found alongside charcoal braziers in Etruscan tombs and "the reptile's head is a feature which occurs on several examples from Vulci and may be a local specialty".
