Large-scale hamsa amulet from a Moroccan Jewish Amazigh tradition, notable for its menorah-like architectural form. The central vertical structure and curved upper bands evoke the menorah, a symbol of divine light, continuity, and protection in Jewish tradition. A hexagram (Magen David / Seal of Solomon) appears at the top, reinforcing the amuletic intention.
The surface is richly engraved with dense geometric patterns, characteristic of North African Jewish metalwork. Due to its size and presence, this piece was likely used as a home or wall amulet, serving as a protective object rather than personal jewelry.
