The Hamsa's name actually comes from the Arabic word for five. The name refers to the five fingers of this sacred hand which is a popular symbol all over the Middle East and North Africa. The hamsa is referred to alternatively as the hand of Miriam, the hand of Mary, or the hand of Fatima, depending on whether it is Jewish, Christian or Muslim. All three religions, however, revere it as a sign of protection. In addition to this collection of artisanal wall-hanging hamsas, you should also check out our hamsa jewelry.

Hamsas from Bezalel Academy-Trained Artist Yair Emanuel
We also have a number of beautiful ready-to-hang hamsas from Adina Plastelina. Adina Plastelina, an artist workshop located in Old Yaffa, has made a wonderful collection of hamsas by combining polymer clay with decorative pewter frames. Adina Plastelina uses the polymer clay to mimic an old Italian glass technique called millefiore, or thousand flowers, which serves as a background for the ornate pewter hamsa. These are available in a number of colors and are sure to find a welcome place in anyone's home.
