About the symbol
The hamsa is a time-honored symbol found across Middle Eastern, North African, and Mediterranean traditions — known as the Hand of Fatima in Islamic culture and the Hand of Miriam in Jewish culture — traditionally hung to guard a space and welcome good energy. At 12", this plaque is sized to be a genuine focal point rather than a small accent. Pair it with pieces from our protection & grounding collection, use it as an anchor piece in your home decor, or browse more good luck favorites.
How to display it
Hang it by a front door or entryway — the traditional placement for welcoming a symbol of protection into a home — or mount it as a focal point on a living room or bedroom wall. A wall anchor or sturdy hook is recommended given its larger size and weight.
Care
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid soaking or scrubbing it with water. Handle carefully when hanging or moving it, and check that the mounting hardware is secure given its larger size, since carved or cast detailing can chip if dropped.
