Take a closer look at these enchanting designs. You’ll notice they incorporate the “hamsa” or open right hand motif, believed by many to be a symbol of good fortune and defense against evil. Every time you light them be reminded of the women in Bredasdorp, South Africa who painstakingly craft them. Many support children and extended families through their craft, which is significant in a region with limited opportunities for sustainable work.
Each candle is handmade using unscented paraffin wax and nontoxic color pigments. Candle holders not included. Any variations in pattern and color reflect the hand-painted process.
