This hamsa is made of solid metal, coated in pure sterling silver 925, with an inlaid turquoise eye. On the palm of the hamsa are designs of the Jerusalem landscapes. Also, on the back of the hamsa, the blessing over the house is included. This blessing is commonly said to protect the house and its occupants. This hamsa, at 7.5 inches, is a great gift for anyone to put around the house. It will provide needed protection against the nuisances of daily life.
