Hi Mike -
Yes...this is the right hand (see attached), however, SymbolBank does
include left handed symbols too...

The reason this one is the right hand is....pretend there were no
fingers protruding...it would be a fist seen from the side...and it
would be a right hand...then the fingers stick out...it is still the
same palm facing ...just with the fingers sticking out now...
