handprint
Child's art keepsake
A handprint is the impression left by a hand pressed against a surface—in paint, ink, mud, or other substances.
Children make handprints in art projects; prehistoric humans left handprints on cave walls.
Forensically, handprints can identify individuals like fingerprints.
The toddler left handprints all over the window.
