Moroccan Hamsa with Green Lace

Distinguished by a vibrant palette, lush with detail and whimsy, Laurie Pollpeter Eskenazi's pottery has a feminine, playful touch that speaks to contemporary sensibilities with bits of nostalgia woven into each piece. This hand-built stoneware Hamsa—a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout North Africa and in the Middle East also known as the hand of Fatima— is glazed by hand with small brushes to bring out its magnificent detail, pattern, and texture.
