Default Pittsburgh Pirate Experts: What Have I Got Here?

I picked up this item in a big antique mall, it was just weird enough to be interesting and priced well enough to be impossible to resist.

What it appears to me to be is a life cast of a pitcher's hand and forearm detailed enough that you can make out scars, callouses, and fingerprints. The pose appears to be a pitching grip, possible a change up grip and the ring finger shows what definitely appears to be a 1971 Pirates World Series ring.

The entire piece is painted brown, leading me to believe that it might have been of an African-American pitcher.

Anyone with any idea or leads on this?

The detail is spooky. Any bone inside of it?

And Cousin Itt is actually spelled with two t's. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
