Hamsa Engraved Square Box Medium Black 17x10x4.2cm

Dark engraving sits sharply against warm mango wood, giving this decorative box a calm, graphic presence. The front panel is centred with a Hamsa motif, framed by floral corner details and the natural movement of the grain.

Engraving, grain and quiet contrast

• The Hamsa sits at the centre of the front face, drawn with fine lines, dots and an eye motif.
• Floral corner engravings soften the square outline and give the box a more ornamental feel.
• The wood grain remains visible across the surface, with natural variation in tone and pattern.

The Hamsa in context

The Hamsa, often shown as an open hand, appears across Middle Eastern and North African visual traditions, including Jewish and Islamic contexts. It is commonly associated with protection, blessing and watchfulness, especially when paired with an eye motif. Here, the symbol is used decoratively and respectfully, as a familiar sign of care and guardianship in the home.

Placement and care

Keep the surface dry and dust it with a soft cloth. As this is wood, avoid prolonged damp and harsh cleaning products, which can mark the finish or raise the grain.

A thoughtful small gift

Suited to someone who likes symbolic design, natural wood grain and objects with a quiet sense of meaning. Its engraved surface gives it more presence than a plain storage piece, while staying understated.

Common questions

Is the design printed or engraved?
The decoration appears engraved into the wood, with dark lines defining the Hamsa and corner motifs.

Will each box look exactly the same?
No. Mango wood has natural grain variation, so the tone and pattern of the wood will differ slightly from piece to piece.
