Protective hamsa amulet from a Moroccan Jewish Amazigh tradition. The hand-shaped form is densely engraved with geometric patterns and centered by a hexagram (Magen David / Seal of Solomon), a symbol widely used in Jewish amulets for protection and balance.
The combination of the hamsa form, hexagram, and mixed metals reflects established North African Jewish craft traditions, where such amulets were worn on the body or hung in the home to guard against the evil eye and misfortune.
