Mystery hands part two.

To continue.
In a lock-box with these stoneware hands:

Were two sheets of parchment.  Written in what looks like an adaptation of Futhark are was (I hope) and explanation to the hands.

 

Well, this only makes me more curious.  Since nothing horrendous has happened to me or the box yet (I know what you're thinking, but trust me, that almost never brings bad fortune), I can assume these are either incomplete artifacts or are nothing more than pretty things.

Since I lack an efficient translator, I must search for a book of runes, Futhark and such, to begin the translation.  Translation isn't my strong suit, but there's enough here to work on it, and since I know "hand" has to be one of those words, it gives me a start point.  More updates to come on this one.
