Essaouira Hamsa with Floral Pattern 2
This particular style of Hamsa is from the town Essaouira. The Hamsa body appears to be cast 800 Silver (80% silver content) which was then hand finished and stamped with "Floral" pattern. The love of Floral Motif and wild vines and blossoms in Hamsa Art are believed to be a reference to the Garden of Paradise. The shape of this Hamsa is particularly charming and resembles a more abstract a "mitten" rather than a physical hand.
Size Approx. 2 7/8" x 1 7/8"
Materials: Cast and Pattern Stamped 800 Silver (80% silver content).
Origin is Morocco circa 1950
