palm print

Hand's unique stamp

A palm print is the impression left by the palm of a hand, showing the pattern of lines, ridges, and creases unique to each person.

Like fingerprints, palm prints serve as biometric identifiers in forensic investigation and security systems: Police matched a palm print found at the scene to the suspect.
