Intro

Add a burst of color to your home with a laser cut hamsa stand depicting the domes, arches and palm trees of Jerusalem. The hamsa itself is a traditional symbol of protection and blessing, and here its form frames a lively cityscape rendered in hand painted color. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has brought color into Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Cut from metal and hand painted in bright, layered tones, the piece stands on its own flat base and needs no mounting. It measures approximately 9" x 7" x 2" and sits well on a shelf, mantel or entry table. The open cutwork lets light pass through the scene, giving the Jerusalem skyline added depth and dimension.

Gift Ideas

Bright and detailed, the hamsa stand makes a fitting housewarming or wedding gift, especially for anyone drawn to Jerusalem or Israeli art. It suits a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary just as well, or a gift for someone building a Jewish home. Its tabletop size makes it easy to give and easy to display.

Care Instructions

Wipe the piece clean with a soft, dry cloth to keep the painted surface bright. Keep it away from moisture and abrasive cleaners, and avoid direct sunlight for long stretches to preserve the color.
