About the Item

This striking Hamsa amulet, crafted in Morocco in the early 20th century, captures the rich artistic heritage of North Africa. Fashioned from warm, aged brass, the piece features a beautifully pierced design, skillfully incorporating intricate foliate patterns that echo the natural motifs common in traditional Moroccan metalwork. At the center of the Hamsa, a finely shaped camel figure emerges, seamlessly integrated into the flowing brass design. This choice of imagery reflects the desert landscapes of its origin, where the camel stands as a symbol of endurance, protection, and resilience – qualities closely associated with the Hamsa itself. The openwork style not only adds a sense of lightness to the piece but also allows the brass to cast intricate shadows, enhancing its visual appeal when worn or displayed.
