Jackie Chan Original Hand Sculpture Joseph Malara
Jackie Chan's hands are weapons, and also defenders of peace, and one of them has been marvelously recreated here in this amazing sculpture. Renowned artist Joseph Malara created this sculpure directly from the hand of the martial arts master, giving a peace sign. This sculpture is hand painted bronze, mounted on a rare multi-colored granite mount, and is signed by Malara. Realistic detail of impeccable quality has gone into this impressive work. Jackie Chan himself granted approval for this casting, and eventual production of this masterful work of art.

Malara has created 14 hands of Jackie Chan -- all originals! This is 1 of 1 in a series of 14, (many different hand positions, thumbs up, open hands, fist, and other peace signs) 2 are designated as Museum pieces, 4 are in the possession of Malara and are not for sale, and 2 are owned by Jackie Chan, and are on display in China. All of Jackie Chan's sculptures come with "Complete Official Documentation."

Malara's exclusive casting process, combined with special finishing techniques, involve a one time temporal mold per work -- with no master mold. Malara's sculptures therefore can NEVER be duplicated or copied. It is thereby a one-of-a-kind piece. Malara created this in the sprit of Historical Preservation, and it is truly museum quality.

"Complete Official Documentation" is included. This means that Malara has PALM and FINGERPRINTED Jackie Chan-- pretty brave of the artist, we'd say! In addtion, Jackie also signed a "Release Form" and an "Affidavit of Authenticity & Official Authorization Form," all done in front of the artist, with additional signed witnesses! Also, Malara's subject's "molding process" was video-taped -- and many pictures were taken! This is Malara's ingenious method of "proof of subject" -- through "Complete Official Documentation!"

Joseph Malara is now retired, so when this sculpture is sold, it is gone, and can never be replaced. He has lent his God Given Talent to his art, and now it can be yours to appreciate forever. Bid now, and this piece will make a terrific art investment.

Jackie Chan has inspired the world of martial arts from the 1970's all the way up to his recent American appearance in "Rush Hour." He is truly a legend in his genre, known for his incredibly fast hands. This hand sculpture might go just as fast, so place your bid! It is a museum quality display, and it will be an honored centerpiece in a home, or a martial arts studio. It is definitely the coolest peace sign we've ever seen-- perfect for the dedicated Jackie Chan fan! NOTE: For further details on this incredible artist, please see his website:
