In the legend of King Arthur, as Sir Bedivere obeys Arthur's command to throw Excalibur into the lake, he sees a hand emerging from the water to catch the sword and then disappear beneath the surface. This signifies the return of the mystical Lady of the Lake, who originally gave Excalibur to Arthur.
