Intro

Bring color and protection to any shelf or entryway with this hand painted hamsa stand, its open form filled with birds, flowers and butterflies in bright, layered enamel. The hamsa is a longstanding symbol of protection and blessing in Jewish homes, and here that meaning is carried through a lively garden scene rather than a plain palm. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose colorful metal Judaica has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Cut from metal and finished by hand in bright enamel colors, the hamsa stands on its own weighted base, no wall mounting required. The piece measures 9 by 7 by 2 inches and weighs about 0.2 kg, light enough to place on a shelf, mantel or entry table. The open cutwork design lets light pass through the birds and flowers, giving the piece dimension from any angle.

Gift Ideas

Colorful and symbolic, this hamsa stand suits a housewarming, a wedding, an engagement or a bar or bat mitzvah gift equally well. It also works as a thoughtful anniversary gift or a gift for someone furnishing a new Jewish home. Its freestanding base means it needs no wall or nail, making it easy to place and easy to give.

Care Instructions

Wipe the hamsa clean with a soft, dry cloth to keep the enamel bright. Keep it away from moisture and abrasive cleaners, which can dull the painted finish over time.
