23cm “Khamsa w Khameesa” is a handmade ceramic wall plate that captures the essence of Middle Eastern folk belief in protection, luck, and blessing. At the heart of the design is the iconic blue Hamsa hand, symbolizing spiritual defense against envy and negativity.
Within the Hamsa lies a bold protective eye, meticulously painted to represent clarity, awareness, and divine watching. The fingers are adorned with warm floral and fruit-like motifs in yellow and red, further enriching the piece with symbolic layers of fertility and abundance. The background blends white and blue hues in soft circular motion, evoking a sense of purity and calm.
Crafted entirely by hand from fired earthenware clay and painted with acrylic colors, each piece is one of a kind, with unique imperfections that highlight the human touch. The artwork is sealed to preserve its vibrant look over time, making it ideal for long-lasting display in both traditional and modern interiors.
“Khamsa w Khameesa” is more than just a decorative item. It’s a symbol of cultural identity and heritage, resonating with generations who have used such symbols to protect their homes and loved ones. Hang it at your entrance, living room, studio, or gift it to someone who values meaningful, spiritual art.
For care, gently clean with a soft damp cloth or lukewarm water. Do not use harsh cleaners or rough materials to maintain the artwork’s detail.
This plate speaks to both heart and home – a spiritual guardian turned into a stunning visual centerpiece.
