Very beautifully patinated big khamsa. i think these were used as part of the hanging system of oil lamps inside synagogs. a big feature of moroccan judaism material culture

Sarah-The small khamsa in this set is very similar to one of your newly acquired and recently posted small khamsas. Very interesting design.
