I think the story is actually much more interesting! Archeologists have a bunch of theories, including the prosthetic, but there is no proof or anything that this was actually a prosthetic. Other ideas include a sceptre or a cultural artefact used to offer things to gods.

It's the earliest occurrence of a bronze hand and they are still searching for indications what it's actual use was.
