A Hamsa Doorknocker from Morocco







This hamsa, or Hand of Fatima, is quite nondescript, but interesting in its function of doorknocker. Note that it is to be attached to the door by five nails

This knocker was photographed in the Moroccan crafts store Marrakech Express. I am extremely grateful to them for letting me photograph everything in their store.
