The image is of Force Publique mercenaries showing off the hands they collected for the day to their commanders. Because ammo was so scarce in the Congo, King Leopold II demanded to prove you didn't waste ammo, you lop off the hands of the one you killed frequently leading to mercenaries just lopping off living people's hands just to avoid being reprimanded over wasting ammo
