The hamsa, a name derived from the Hebrew ( חמסה ) and Arabic ( خمسة ) words for the number five, is a symbol used as an amulet, talisman and jewelry by people in the Middle East and North Africa of all faiths (Muslims, Sephardic Christians and Jews) to protect against the evil eye.
The Jewish name is that of hand of Myriam, in reference to Myriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron. Another alternative Islamic name is that of hand of Fatima or eye of Fatima in reference to Fatima Zahra, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad.
The hamsa is a kind of "protective hand" or "hand of Di...". Some associate the meaning of the five fingers with the five books of the Torah for Jews, with the five pillars of Islam for Muslims. Recently, peace activists in the Middle East have chosen to wear the hamsa as a symbol of the similarities in origins and traditions between Jewish and Islamic beliefs.
The fingers can point up or down depending on taste or decoration associated with it.
