The hand of Miriam, in reference to Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, as well as the (5) chamesh hand. It serves as an ancient talismanic way of averting and getting protection from the evil eye, or more generally of providing a "protecting hand" or "Hand of God." It appears, often in stylized form, as a hand with three fingers raised, and sometimes with two thumbs arranged symmetrically. The symbol is used in amulets, charms, jewelry, door entrances, and other places to ward the evil eye.
The flow of water, nature, wheat, barley, and olive leaves are all symbols of purity and wealth. The dancing figures symbolize the festivity of life, and enduring fiery energy in both body and soul. The tree of life at the base of the palm contains the word Chai (Life) in its roots.
Giclée Prints on Fine Art Paper and canvas are crafted with museum-quality, archival materials designed to last a lifetime.
The Canvas is coated with a glossy UV-protective (440 gsm). It can be stretched on a wooden frame or mounted and framed behind non-glare glass for added protection from dust (most couples prefer the glass option).
Fine Art paper, lightly textured, 100% cotton fiber fine art paper (310 gsm), acid-free.
