Intro

Bring a touch of protection and color into your home with this small hand painted wood hamsa. A pair of deer stand at its center, surrounded by doves, grapevines and pomegranates across a rich blue ground. The hamsa itself is a traditional symbol of protection, while the pomegranates woven through the scene stand for blessing and abundance. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has shaped Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Cut from wood and hand painted by skilled artisans, the hamsa measures about 3.5 by 2 inches. A beaded cord runs through the top for hanging on a wall or door, in an entryway or any room that could use its watch. The compact size suits a single spot on a wall or a cluster with other small pieces.

Gift Ideas

Small and symbolic, this hamsa makes a fitting housewarming gift for a new home. It suits a wedding or engagement gift as well, and works nicely for a bar or bat mitzvah or as a small anniversary keepsake. Its size and meaning make it easy to give on its own or alongside another piece.

Care Instructions

Dust the hamsa gently with a soft, dry cloth to keep the paint bright. Keep it away from direct sun and moisture so the wood and colors hold up over time.
