Silver Hamsa Pendant

In frame, a hand-shaped pendant, richly engraved, with a wheel in its palm.

This is a hamsa pendant. It is sterling silver. The hamsa is a hand shaped amulet found across the Middle East and North Africa, generally taken to protect the wearer from the evil eye. Photographed straight, a flat bright metal pendant in the shape of an open hand, with a ridged loop at the top. The palm holds a radiating star inside a ring of scrolling leaves, and the fingers and wrist carry scales and leafy lines. It is 1.25 inches long and 2.25 deep.

Every inch decorated, and the palm gets the best seat.
