Hand-hammered metal tray shaped like a Hamsa hand, formed from upcycled oil drums. The Hamsa is an ancient symbol of protection, said to guard against negative energy and invite good fortune. Set it by the door for keys, on a nightstand for jewelry, or at the center of a table to hold stones and candles.

Details
  • Design: Flat tray hand-hammered into the shape of a Hamsa hand, its dark oil-drum patina covered edge to edge with punched spirals and paisley-inspired dot work
  • Size: 15" x 10.5"
  • Material: Recycled steel, upcycled from oil drums
  • Included: Tray only. Lavender bunch and ribbon shown are for styling reference
  • Origin: Handmade in Haiti by metal workers. Fairtrade certified, and the purchase supports women-led artisan businesses
  • Care: Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from prolonged moisture to preserve the hand-hammered finish
  • Note: Each tray is hand-hammered from upcycled metal, so slight variations in texture, patina, and shape are part of its handmade character
Meaning & Intention

The Hamsa is one of the oldest protective symbols in the world, known across Middle Eastern, North African, and Mediterranean cultures as a guard against negative energy and the so-called evil eye.

Shaped like an open right hand, it has long been worn or hung to invite happiness, luck, health, and good fortune into the home.

Here that ancient form is worked entirely by hand from reclaimed steel, its industrial origin turned through hammer and punch into swirling spirals and dotted paisley — a fitting echo of the Hamsa's own promise of resilience and renewal.

As a tray, it becomes a gathering point where the symbol extends to whatever it holds.

Essence & Elements

Questions & Guidance

Can I use it around candles?

Yes. Set candles in their own holders on the flat metal surface, and keep any open flame away from the finish.

What does the Fairtrade certification mean here?

It confirms the Haitian artisans are paid fairly and work under safe, dignified conditions. Each purchase also supports women-led artisan businesses in Haiti.

Is it food safe?

No. The tray is a decorative catch-all, meant for jewelry, keys, stones, or dried botanicals rather than food or drink.

Would it work as a gift?

Yes. It suits a housewarming, a move into a new home, or anyone drawn to protective symbolism at the door, altar, or bedside.
