Wooden Coffin Hamsa Wall Hanging
The Wooden Coffin Hamsa Wall Hanging is a hand-carved wooden hamsa in an unusual coffin silhouette -- a Gothic take on the classic protective hand. The natural wood grain shows through the carved detailing, and a hanging loop makes it ready for a wall or doorway. Each piece is hand-carved, so grain, tone, and finish vary slightly from one to the next.
