Antique Moroccan Handmade Silver Hamsa with Lizard Symbol – 1880
About the Item
This rare handmade Moroccan Hamsa pendant, crafted in 1880, is made of intricately engraved silver and features a three-dimensional lizard, a symbol of health, healing, and regeneration in North African Jewish tradition. The Hamsa, a well-known protective amulet, is believed to ward off the Evil Eye, and the addition of the lizard enhances its meaning as a talisman for well-being and renewal. In Moroccan Jewish folklore, lizards were associated with resilience and divine healing, making this piece a powerful spiritual charm. Measuring 8 cm by 12 cm, the pendant is adorned with traditional Berber-style patterns and comes with its original 1-meter-long silver chain. A stunning collector’s item, it carries deep cultural and mystical significance, embodying both Jewish and North African heritage.
