The blue arrow is pointing to a very small muscle that contracts only when lifting the pinky finger, otherwise it's invisible. Michelangelo's Moses is lifting the pinky finger, therefore that tiny muscle is contracted - a small part of the many details of this masterpiece.

Wasn't Michelangelo the dude who stole corpses in order to study how muscles and such worked? Could be DaVinci, though, not sure.
