This Hamsa features two doves and an olive tree leaf, which also features the word peace in Hebrew letters (Shalom). The piece is entitled Hamsa-Hamsa as a hint of the Israeli expression "Hamsa Hamsa", which means a desire for peace and for the good to prevail.
The Hamsa is one of the oldest amulet known to protect you from the evil eye and bring happiness, wealth and health into your life. The iconic Judaica symbol was carefully designed by Gerstein as part of his collection of Jewish themed works.
