Chamsa 1 Ketubah, by Nava Shoham

Medium: Giclee

The Chamsa, the Hand of Miriam, in reference to Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, as well as the (5) Hamesh Hand. It serves as an ancient talismanic way of averting and getting protection from the evil eye, or more generally of providing a “protecting hand” or “Hand of God”. It appears, often in stylized form, as a hand with three fingers raised, and sometimes with two thumbs arranged symmetrically. The symbol is used in amulets, charms, jewelry, door entrances, and other places to ward the evil eye. 

The Golden Peach and Blue Leaveson each side of the Chamsa are Chinese folk designs -a symbol of Immortality, marriage & springtime. Around the Chamsa, in the circle: White Doves-for PEACE on earth & mind.On the bottom left side: The fluid blue verse coming out of the fiery vase: “Vast amounts of water cannot extinguish My love (for you) and rivers cannot flood it” -Song Of Songs
