Crossed fingers statue

The president of a state photographers group is given a statue of a hand with the the index and middle fingers crossed. The other fingers are sort of pulled down from those two as if giving a Cub Scout salute. Is this a standard sort of statue for leaders of organizations? Can anyone tell me what it means? Should I take it to mean what is said at crossed fingers? Thanks, Dismas| (talk) 22:13, 12 March 2016 (UTC) reply

It is probably his gang sign. This may be interesting. The Quixotic Potato ( talk) 20:53, 13 March 2016 (UTC) reply
