Beautiful hamsa chime handmade with capiz and beadwork. Designed by Om Gallery and exquisitely crafted by our artisan partners in the Philippines. Capiz shells are actually the outer shell of a marine mollusk more commonly known as "windowpane oyster". Philippine capiz shells are so named because they were originally harvested from the shallow coastal waters near the town of Capiz, on the island of Panay. Once cleaned, the shells are naturally translucent and, when painted, allow for a glorious interplay between light and color. Dimensions: 28" x 7.5"
