Rembrandt’s Hands and a Lion’s Paw



This bracelet, created by Lyske Gais and Lia Duinker, is a wearable catalog that binds 1,400 pages into a thick book. It contains black-and-white hand illustrations from 303 of Rembrandt’s etchings and drawings, inspired by availability in Rijksmuseum’s digital archive.

  1. Lovely but US $10,910.50 or CDN 13,698.45 is kind of steep.

    1. A lot of work went into the illustrations but yes it is crazy expensive.

  2. Not only the art work but the leather prep, mounting and binding is crazy labor intensive.
    They say about 6 weeks do most of the work must be done and just needs assembly.
