The Hamsa is a traditional amulet and symbol in the shape of a hand and an eye, used to ward off the evil eye.
It is used widely in Mediterranean cultures.
The Hamsa Hand, which is an artistic rendering of an outstretched hand, is likely the most prevalent symbol throughout the Middle East today. This ever popular talisman, typically featured in jewelry and wall hangings, is thought to give protection from the "Evil Eye" (curses brought on by the envy of others) and to bring good fortune.
