Intro

Bring a touch of Jerusalem into your home with this small hand painted hamsa. The wood surface carries a detailed cityscape of Jerusalem, framed by ornate floral medallions and scrollwork in warm blues, golds, and reds. The hamsa itself is a longstanding symbol of protection, and here it doubles as a miniature window onto the old city. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has graced Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Cut from wood and hand painted by skilled artisans, the hamsa measures 3.5 by 2 inches, sized for a doorway, wall, or shelf. A beaded cord at the top allows it to hang freely, letting the painted scene catch the light. The compact size makes it easy to place in an entryway or alongside other Judaica.

Gift Ideas

Small and richly detailed, this hamsa suits a housewarming, wedding, or engagement gift with ease. It also works well for a bar or bat mitzvah or as a thoughtful addition to a Jewish home gift basket. Its size makes it simple to send or carry, and its meaning gives it lasting weight beyond the occasion.

Care Instructions

Dust the hamsa gently with a dry, soft cloth to keep the painted surface clean. Keep it away from direct moisture and out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the color over time.
