חמסה מפליז לקיר מאלג'יריה

(Brass wall khamsa from Algeria)

विवरण

Large engraved brass hand meant to be hung on the wall of the house or above the threshold. The chiseled decoration mixes stars, rosettes and sometimes a protective inscription; some bear a suspension ring. Common to Jewish and Muslim families of the Maghreb, it warded off the evil eye from the home.
