A woman's richly bejewelled hand and embroidered sleeve shows the viewer what happens to anyone who exchanges true emotions for money.
Beautiful amber leaves form a cage around the hand, latching onto the jewels with a chain made of stems. The beauty of the leaves draws attention away from their true nature. Each link of the chain tightens around the fingers, creating decorations that prevent the hand from moving and living freely.
