Hamsa & 12 choshen UNUSUAL BIG gems with Hebrew home blessing hoshen from Israel This is a beautiful hamsa. The hamsa is a Kabbalistic symbol of protection from the evil eye. It brings positive energy, happiness, prosperity and health. The Hamsa's (meaning "five") includes five digits and symbolizes the Creator's protective hand. It is adorned with 12 big unusual semi-precious gem stones representing the 12 tribes of Israel, as they might have appeared on the breastplate of the Great Kohen. On the bottom there is a blessing for the home in Hebrew. On the back there is an explanation what each gem stone symbolises, and a quote of a psalm from the Exodus chapter in the Bible.
