To practicing Jews: How do you feel about the hands of G-d being depicted in art? Do you think it counts as a graven image?
The hands or hand of G-d are one of the few direct depictions of any part of G-d that you can find in Jewish art. For instance the picture I've attached to this post is from the Dura Europus Synagogue in Syria dated to around the third century CE. As you can see at the top the hands of G-d are depicted splitting the red sea.
I find it interesting because clearly this image, and others like it, were made with the second commandment in mind; otherwise why not show His face? And yet it still feels extreme compared to modern Judaism (admittedly from the perspective of an outsider) wherein no depiction of any part of G-d is welcome. But again, that's from an outsider's perspective, so I was curious what modern practicing Jews thing of this art, and art like it.
