Protective hamsa amulet from a Moroccan Jewish Amazigh tradition, featuring two engraved hexagrams (Magen David / Seal of Solomon) arranged vertically. The surface is richly worked with geometric engraving, characteristic of North African Jewish metalwork used for protective objects.
The repetition of the hexagram strengthens the amuletic intention, associated with balance, guarding, and spiritual protection. Such pieces were worn on the body or displayed in the home as everyday talismans.
