Primal Hamsa -- Juramaia Sinesis Fossil Pendant in Bronze or Silver with Raw Diamond

The Hamsa, alternatively called the Hand of Fatima or Hand or Miriam, is protective talisman that features in many cultures. It symbolizes the hand of a divine female ancestor giving a sign of blessing or holding a staring eye. It evokes the protection of the maternal holy spirit, blessing us with love and good fortune while it wards off evil and danger. For our talisman, I have chosen the hand of our most ancient female relative: Juramaia Sinensis. 'Juramaia Sinensis' lived 160 million years ago, and could very well be the great grandmother of all placental mammals, a common ancestor linking us to all of humanity as well as all of our finned and furry cousins: Humans, cats, dogs, horses, rats, even dolphins and whales, owe their evolution to this little shrew-like mammal, great-grandma Juramaia. This 3X scale model of her paw is based on fossil reconstructions and skeleton holotypes. It is cast in bronze or sterling silver, and is set with a tiny rough diamond, a stone whose brilliance is gained by the pressure of many millions of years. A mother's love is forever! Measures 40mm in length and 16mm wide. Chains are not included, but can be chosen from our “Chains & Accessories” section.
