💗🖐 I made this lovely hamsa (khamsa) in the hand-built method from high-fire white earthenware, then textured it with hearts and a dove of peace. I added the Hebrew words אשת חיל מי ימצא (Eshet Chayil Mi Yimtza), "A woman of valor, who can find?" as a blessing for the woman of strength and courage. I high fired in my kiln at my studio. To complete the look I added beads and a hemp cord for hanging.
Inspiration: A woman of valor, who can find? For her price is far above rubies. Proverbs, Chapter 31.

Hamsa meaning: The hamsa hand is an ancient Middle Eastern amulet that protects against the “evil eye.” It is a protective sign and brings its owner happiness, luck, health, and good fortune.
Five (hamesh in Hebrew) represents the five books of the Torah for Jews. In the Jewish religion, the Jewish hamsa hand also symbolizes the Hand of Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron. The symbol of the hand appears in manuscripts of the Kabbalah. Although the hamsa hand has been symbolic in Islam and Judaism for centuries, archaeological digs provide evidence that the hamsa predates these religions and originated with the Phoenicians.
Since all my items are glazed at high fire temperatures, the colors will remain vibrant for the life of the piece.
