A very nice selection!
Lovely hamsas!
Very nice :) Do you know more about the little hamsas with the five distinct fingers (top left & bottom right)?
Dear Natalie,
thank you for your question.
The two little hamsas you asked for are produced in the "lost mould" technic (sand casting). Both are between 50-100 years old and, as far as I know, from a region nearby the high Atlas. Top left is good silver (>800), bottom right is low grade silver (<600). The shape is called "Turtle" for wisdom and to fullfill wishes . If you like, look for "Lalla Takerkoust" in Wikipedia for more Information.
Best regards
Paul
Thanks so much, Paul.
