Fulet hamsa amulet pendant

Fulet hamsa amulet pendant

This pendant, which looks like one sheet, is actually made of two sheets cut out and soldered together after decoration. The cloverleaf is in fact a stylized form of the hamsa (amuletic motif in the form of a hand). In the Marrakesh area the pendant is worn on the breast, while the women of Fez thread it onto their belts.
