Hamsa Hand Incense Burner

This incense burner features a beautifully crafted Hamsa Hand sitting at the top of an ornately sculpted ash troth.  The Hamsa Hand or “Hand of The Goddess” can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia.  The image is most commonly depicted in art as an open-facing right hand. However, many works of art have been crafted depicting the hand throughout the history of the middle east, including but not limited to elaborate jewelry and gem-encrusted amulets.  The Hamsa represents good fortune & blessings, power, strength, protection, and defense against evil forces.
