We have here a beautiful Roman Glass "Hand of Fatima" or "Hamsa" Pendant for a necklace. It features handcrafted Filigree work and is truly a beautiful piece. The "Hand of Fatima" or "Hamsa" (khamsa) design is popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa. It is often used in jewelry or wall hangings and is believed to protect from the "evil eye". It is sometimes called the "Hand of Fatima", commemorating Fatima Zahra, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad. The setting is made from about 10 grams of solid 14ct Gold and is handcrafted by our own world class Armenian Jewelers here in Jerusalem. The gold is stamped as 14ct. The Roman glass is made from shards of larger pieces from over 2000 years ago. Each piece of Roman glass develops a unique patina and color so you will never find two pieces exactly alike. Also since the setting is completely handcrafted we can guarantee this piece is completely unique and you will never find another one like it. Size: 4x2cm Gold: 14ct Weight of Gold: (approx.) 10g This piece comes complete with a certificate of authenticity issued by the Hamedian Gallery as authorized by the Israeli Antiquity Authority.
