The Hamsa Hand - Do you believe in Luck? - Necklace by Simag.etsy.com

The hamsa in Arabic { خمسة ‎, khamsa} or hamesh {5 חמש } in Hebrew is a popular amulet for blessings, power and strength protection from an evil eye throughout the Middle East and North Africa. A similar symbol of a blue eye in a hand, also to protect from the evil eye, in Turkish culture, but the focus is on the eye, not the hand and the Turkish blue eye also occurs on its own.

In our house we have Hamsa wall decoratives from around the world as
