TWO LEFT HANDS.—This unusual sculpture is in the main square of Aniche, a small town between Douai and Cambrai, in northern France. It honours the two main industries of the area—mining and glass-making. The people of Aniche are puzzled as to why the hands, which grasp symbolic pieces of coal and glass, should both be left. They have asked to be enlightened, but so far no-one has obliged.
