What it Means

The five fingers of the Hamsa represent the five books of the Torah in Jewish tradition, or the Five Pillars of Islam. The eye at the centre wards off the evil eye, the harm that can come from envy or malicious intent. The hand itself is a universal gesture of blessing and protection across cultures.

History & Origins

The Hamsa has been used as an amulet for thousands of years across the Middle East and North Africa. It appears in ancient Carthaginian and Phoenician art. In Jewish tradition it is called the Hand of Miriam; in Islamic tradition, the Hand of Fatima. It remains one of the most popular protective symbols in the world today.
