This stunning Hamsa hanging is rich in symbolic Jewish references, and would make a simply wonderful gift to someone special! At the top, the traditional Home Blessing sits recessed in an arch-topped window. Beneath this, a rendition of Old Jerusalem spans the hand from thumb to thumb. It has been highlighted with gleaming flecks of gold, bringing depth and dimension to the city's iconic rooftops and arches. Beneath this lies a Hoshen, made from 12 brilliantly colored crystals sparkling from within a silvery grid. The entire piece is covered in silver plated brickwork reminiscent of the Western Wall, and includes a hook for hanging and velvet backing.

The Hoshen was the breastplate worn by the High Priest in the Temple. It featured 12 gemstones, each of which represented one of the 12 Tribes. Today, it is used as a decorative motif to symbolize both its holy origins, and a unified Israel.

Hasmas have been used in Middle Eastern and North African art for millennia, and are believed to be a powerful talisman against evil.
