What it is
Hand and arm marks referring to where the sea goddess's fingers were cut off.
The long version
Sedna's severed fingers became the sea animals. A woman without hand marks was refused the good afterlife; one without face marks went to the land of the crestfallen. The marks are a passport as much as an ornament.
