The Hand in Morroco. Hamsa, Art, Symbol and Tradition.
Khalid El Gharib's collection offers, beyond primitive superstitions and multiple expressions of identity, the first artistic and aesthetic anthology on representations of the hand.
These pieces, collected from all the cultural areas of Morocco, show jewelry in noble metal, prints, lamps, ex-votos, clothing, weavings, embroidery, manuscripts, amulets and the many useful objects that surround both daily life and major ceremonies.
Through this book, Khalid El Gharib takes a sensitive look at these artisans and goldsmiths, Muslims and Jews, who, in fraternal complicity, shaped forms and offered an identity and styles which still strengthen Moroccan arts.
