handprints
Pressed palm marks
Handprints are impressions left by hands, whether pressed intentionally into wet cement, paint, or clay, or left unintentionally as smudges on glass or walls.
Children's handprints are often preserved as keepsakes: The refrigerator was covered with handprint art from preschool.
In forensics, handprints may serve as evidence alongside fingerprints.
