About this piece

This colorful hamsa wall art is painted iron, covered in hearts of many colors around a turquoise heart at the center. Hung by the front door or in the kitchen, it is the first thing that says hello when you walk in.

What it means

Hamsa comes from the Arabic word for five, for the five fingers of the open hand. In Jewish and Middle Eastern homes it hangs by the door as a sign of blessing and protection, and some Jewish families call it the Hand of Miriam. It is often given with a wish for a new home.

Size and materials

  • Material: painted iron
  • Size: 7.3 × 9.8 in (18.5 × 25 cm)
  • Design: painted hearts in many colors, a turquoise heart at the center
  • Hanging: keyhole slots on the back, screws not included

It is a little smaller than a sheet of letter paper, enough to brighten the narrow wall beside a door.

Who it is for

A housewarming gift for a daughter's first apartment, for friends who just closed on a house, or for anyone who loves color. It suits a bright kitchen, a kids' room or an entryway. A screw or a nail through the keyhole slots is all it needs.

The verse that goes with it: “The LORD shall keep thee from all evil.” (Psalm 121:7)

Care: Dust with a dry cloth. Keep it indoors and away from moisture to protect the paint.

The story behind it

The first bright thing you see when you come home.

Moving boxes in the hall, no curtains yet, the smell of fresh paint. A new house takes a while to feel like yours.

A hamsa by the door is one of the oldest ways to start. This one is all color: small hearts in every shade around a turquoise one at the center. Hang it before the boxes are unpacked. Every time she walks in, the first thing she sees is a blessing.

  • For your daughter, unpacking her first apartment.
  • For the friends, who just got the keys to their first house.
  • For your own kitchen, which could use a little more color.
What you could write on the card
For your new door. May this home be full of color, good people and every blessing.
