Khamsa

The Khamsa, also called the Hand of Fatima or Hamsa, is a symbol shaped like a hand with an eye in the center. It is used across various cultures, especially in North Africa and the Middle East, as a protective talisman against the evil eye and negative energies. The five fingers symbolize strength, protection, and blessings. The eye in the middle is believed to ward off harm and bring good fortune. Often decorated with intricate designs, the Khamsa serves as both a spiritual safeguard and a piece of art, reflecting cultural heritage and beliefs in divine protection.
