🤍 The Hamsa (also called Hand of Fatima, Khamsa, or Hand of Miriam) is a talisman from the ancient Middle East. It is thought though that the Hamsa predates both Judaism and Islam, but ultimately there is no certainty about its origins.
🧿 Traditionally when displayed with the fingers down, the Hamsa is said to let more goodness, luck, fertility and abundance into your life. When facing up, it is a powerful symbol of protection against the Evil Eye and negative energy.
💙 This suncatcher is 7” tall and 5” wide, made with quality iridescent art glass. The jewel used in this piece is multi-faceted on both sides and throws rainbows and reflections like you wouldn't believe! Each piece of glass is hand cut, wrapped with copper foil, soldered together with 60/40 solder. The solder seams have been treated with a black patina and waxed to a high shine. It’s hung with fine black jewellery chain and is ready to be displayed in a window or on a wall.
❇️ Each stained glass item is handmade, and therefor each piece is unique. Art glass has imperfection and “seeds”, which add to the beauty and light play so loved in stained glass. Please handle with care and keep out of reach of children.
