Avodah Zarah 3:2 - Rabbi Joel Padowitz On The Mishnah

Avodah Zarah3: 2

הַמּוֹצֵא שִׁבְרֵי צְלָמִים — הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ מֻתָּרִים. מָצָא תַבְנִית יָד אוֹ תַבְנִית רֶגֶל — הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ אֲסוּרִים, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁכַּיּוֹצֵא בָהֶן נֶעֱבָד.

[If] one finds fragments of images, these are permitted. [If] he found the figure of a hand or the figure of a foot, these are prohibited, because such [objects] are worshiped.
