Flicked/holding on ...
Hello
Outside the door the man in uniform flicked a finger
and a taxi, slowed and swerved. As it did so, suddenly from
nowhere a little wizened old woman popped up, holding
on her arm a flat basket in which lay small bunches of
desiccated white heather.
I think "flicked a finger" means that he waved his finger?
Does it mean that the basket was hanging on her arm?
