Blessing & Good Fortune Symbol with hole for hanging.  Total approx size2 1/2 x 3 1/4
Makes a great housewarming or hostess gift. 

Our very own handcrafted metal blessing symbol can be hung inside or outside your front door, or any other room of your choice.  We've seen them hung in offices, outside of store fronts and even garages.  With the symbol of blessings and good fortune, they can also be given as a gift for housewarming parties, hostess gift, holiday gift, baby showers and even wedding gifts.  Tie a ribbon on it, and it makes a beautiful Christmas / Holiday ornament.  

In Kenya, Africa, the blessing symbol has a multi purpose use.  Often times, you will see it hanging inside the Maasai hut to welcome blessings and good fortune.  A smaller version is also worn by children and adults signifying life events.  The blessing symbol also reflects one of fertility and a productive life ahead.   

These particular metallic objects are made by a special clan of the Maasai known as the "ilkununo" which means blacksmiths.  This particular clan has learned their craft from being handed down for many generations.  In addition to these very special blessing symbols, they also make spears, swords, knives and jewelry.
