I love these buckles with the small hands. Lovely find, Rolf!
A really nice one, Rolf. I imagine the hands have the same allusion as khamsas. Funny, I've never thought about that before...
Khamsa means five from the five fingers.... Right you are
This one is a Jewish style form Marrakech or Essaouria. the hands of this style are often found as embellishments on jewels
