Khamsas

Click on image for larger picture.

Known by many names (Khamsa, Hamesh, Hand of Fatima, Hand of Miriam), this ancient folkloric decorative amulet is common to Jew and Arab alike throughout the Middle East and North Africa. It is hung at an entryway as a good luck sign, for magical protection from the Evil Eye, to draw positive energy, happiness, health, and wealth. Its shape and semitic name (meaning five) symbolize the Creator's protective hand.

Each Khamsa is a unique ceramic creation, mounted on masonite and trimmed with beads, stones, and findings.
