Ornamental Sacred Heart
Polynesian Hammerhead SharkThe hamsa is a palm-shaped amulet found across Middle Eastern and North African cultures, used in Jewish, Muslim and other traditions to ward off the evil eye and bring protection, luck and blessings. The central eye reinforces this protective function, symbolising vigilance against harm. The lotus flowers at the fingertips add a separate layer of meaning, often read as purity or spiritual awakening in Buddhist and Hindu iconography, so this piece blends more than one tradition rather than sticking to a single origin.
Where it sits
This is a tall, symmetrical vertical design that suits the back, chest, forearm or thigh where its full height can be shown in one piece. The dangling drops at the base work well running toward the elbow or knee so the piece has a natural downward flow. Shrinking it for a wrist or ankle placement would blur the mandala patterning inside the palm and the fine dotwork around the eye.
