Guds hand, Bronze sculpture in Eskilstuna, Sweden.
The sculpture features a large hand extending upward on a tall column, with a nude figure balanced between its thumb and index finger.
Carl Milles created this sculpture between 1949 and 1953, using his own left hand as a model for the monumental bronze work.
The figure's stretched fingers and gesturing arms represent human uncertainty, while the supporting hand symbolizes divine protection and stability.
Multiple versions of this sculpture exist worldwide, including installations in Denmark, Japan, Australia, China, and various locations across Sweden.
The artist's interest in astronomy influenced the sculpture's elevated position, making it appear connected to the sky through its raised column placement.
