Some motifs return in every culture across the centuries: the palm as a protective symbol, the Hamsa, is one of them. This 78 × 112 centimetre hand-painted cotton wall hanging brings the Hamsa pattern to an empty wall — a quiet, central figure that frames and gives weight to the space where it hangs.
The experience
The canvas is hand-painted, which makes each piece unique: the character of the brushstrokes and slight variations in shade matter, ensuring that the textile does not look like one of hundreds of identical factory products but like an object made with attention. The Hamsa palm sits at the centre, with delicate ornamental motifs unfolding around it — the eye finds its centre, and rests there.
Where it belongs
The 78 × 112 cm size is particularly suited to an open wall in a living room, above a bedroom bed, or as a backdrop for a meditation corner. There are several ways to hang it: a thin curtain rod through a sleeve sewn into the top edge, fabric clips on the wall, or simply a few small hooks. The cotton weighs 0.095 kg — virtually any simple fixing can support it.
Size and placement
At 78 × 112 cm, this is a medium-to-small wall piece: it doesn't cover an entire wall, but provides a focal point. In the centre of an empty wall surface, above a living-room sofa, on one side wall of a bedroom, or in a meditation corner — wherever it goes, the eye stops on it. At 0.1 cm thick, it is almost flat, making it easy to hang and easy to relocate during frequent moves or wall changes.
