The hamsa (hand) shape has been used since ancient times for decoration and to denote divine protection. Originally part of a synagogue lamp, the hand shape of the brass hamsa that this keyring is based on is in the form of two birds on either side of a Star of David, with the Hebrew letter Heh (symbolizing the Divine Name) in the center. The stylized bird is a familiar decorative motif on Jewish ceremonial art from North Africa. This gorgeous large brass keyring will definitely attract attention and positive comments for years to come!
This item comes with a certificate of authenticity of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Enclosed is a small description of its historical background in English and Hebrew.
