Hamsa Hand - 5cm

The Hamsa hand (or Hamsa, which literally means five, referring to the five fingers of the hand) is a symmetrical palm amulet with five extended fingers, popular in the Middle East as a talisman against envy and the evil eye.

In the Middle East, it is used in bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and hung in homes, offices, or cars to serve as a shield against envy and the evil eye.

This metal crocheted Hamsa hand measures 5 cm.

The Hamsa hand is often referred to as the Hand of Allah and is combined with the Turkish eye amulet to enhance its effects. History of the Hamsa Hand The hamsa is known in the Muslim world as the Hand of Fátima (Fátima was Muhammad's favorite daughter, and the five fingers represent the five pillars of Islam) and in the Jewish world as the Hand of Miriam (Miriam was the sister of Moses and Aaron, and the five fingers represent the Five Books of the Torah). Although both religions do not recognize or authorize belief in amulets, the symbol has become very popular, falling into the category of superstition. In the West, the Hamsa hand is popularly known as the Hand of Fátima but can also appear as the Hand of God, Hand of Allah, Hand of Hamesh, or Eye of Fátima. This symbol (before Judaism or Islam) is more closely associated with the Phoenician world and the goddess Tanit, whose hand warded off evil and fear.
