I can't remember the word but there is one for the hand signals used across the worlds cultures. It's quite fascinating really. What she's doing with her left hand probably does mean something to people who know such things. Unfortunately I'm not one of them....
From a Google search: Antologia by Alexey Morosov. Antologia, in english, anthology is a solo collection at the Russian Museum by Alexey Morosov, a contemporary Russian Artist. Morosov replicates famous masterpieces from the Ancient Greek and Roman times, and puts them into the world as modern man. He has a collection of bronze status and also tempera, oil, and sepia on paper. Although Morosov’s work is highly respected, there is something humorous about his works. Pictured below is a Currus, a bronze statue. Morosov’s figure on the Segway represents that of a classic greek female figure. As you can see in her face, she represents a Kore. A Kore is a generic Ancient Greek female statue. They are very stylized, and easily identified. The archaic smile on her face shows minimal expression, and with just curved corners of the mouth. Her clothes resemble the peplos dress of that time, seen on the Kore. Below is a picture of Peplos Kore from the Acropolis in Athens.
