The hamsa (which translates to the number “5” in Arabic) is an amulet or talisman that has been popular in North Africa and the Middle East since Biblical times. The theory goes something like this: those who are envious or harbor dislike for another can direct an evil eye their way with the intent to cause harm. The Hamsa deflects the evil eye, protecting the user from any and all ill will. These talisman are abundant in Morocco- hanging from trees in the desert, dangling from pendants adorning the necks of local Berber women and standing guard at the front door of many local homes.
We invite you to bring this Moroccan tradition to your home with our stylish hamsa door knocker. Handcrafted of solid brass, each piece is hand etched with various designs before being polished to a brilliant finish. A generous 8” in length, each arrives complete with all necessary hardware for quick installation. As it graces your door, each strike of the knocker will banish evil and bring good fortune to those inside.
