Hamsa Pendant

In frame, a hand-shaped pendant studded with bright bosses and a row of beaded fingers.

This is a hamsa pendant. Hamsa pendants are often cast or stamped in metal, with the palm shown flat and the fingers spread, and sometimes a small eye at the center. Photographed straight, a flat, bright metal pendant shaped like a hand, with a narrow hanging loop above. Raised round bosses cluster across the palm, and the fingers are lined with tiny beads. The surface is glossy and slightly uneven, with a hammered edge. It is 1 inches long and 1.5 high.

Bumpy, bright and quite pleased with every single bead.
