Sacred and Ritual Objects Ha-Boteach be-Adonai Chesed, Casablanca, circa 1950
The following description was prepared by William Gross:
This printed amulet carries the typical jerusalem type imagery, even though it has been printed in Morocco. It has been printed on blue paper using blue ink and features the large hand, illustrating the wisdom of the hand, as a representation of the amuletic hamsah. The text mentions that the amulet is based on the tradition of the Ba'al Shem tov. The owner of the print shop was Moshe Amar & Jaques Amar (today Imar, in Geneva. At one time was a printer in Tel Aviv). There are two copies in the gross family collection, one on blue paper and the other on peach-colored paper.
