prosthetic device?
That is a lot of Bronze to waste on a hand, I would think blades would be more important during that time period.

Conspicuous consumption -- waste, to others -- has always been a status symbol.
It could always be melted down for weaponry if needed, but fortunately it was buried first. Most ancient bronzes did not survive the armorers.

Somewhere there are two arms and hands, one with a beckoning finger and the other showing two fingers (2 denarii) from the Venus de Milo.
