Silver Ex-Voto Milagro Hand and Arm Amulet, Old, Egypt.
4.1/2" tall, 1 1/2" wide.
Rita collected old ex-votive figures / milagros, used in religious ceremonies, from Italy, Greece, Peru, Mexico and Egypt. These are now collectors items as the old ones are harder to find. Could be used as a pendant or for part of your collection!
Hole on top for stringing. The one in stock is almost identical but has a closed hole (not damaged).
