Antique Mother and Daughter Fatima Hands

Rare pair of antique Hands of Fatima in solid silver, finely decorated with suspended natural pearls, antique coral, and amazonite elements set on the front. Individually handcrafted rather than serially produced, they were intended respectively for a mother and a daughter, representing a valuable testament to traditional goldsmithing and apotropaic craftsmanship. Traces of the original orange enamel surrounding the central mounted elements are still visible.
