About The kamsa hand (Arabic) or hamesh hand (Hebrew) is an old and still popular apotropaic amulet for magical protection from the envious or evil eye. The words Kamsa and hamesh mean "five" and refer to the digits on the hand. An alternative Islamic name for this charm is the Hand of Fatima, in reference to the daughter of phrophet Mohammed. An alternative Jewish name for it is the Hand of Miriam, in reference to the sister of Moses and Aaron.

Interesting subject and story, those items well known in African Arab countries, where they call khmaisah, but hardly found in middles east, thanks for such wonderful subject, love to see it in colour. Saeed

A most interesting amulet and a good capture. Your discription however adds so much to the understanding of what we are seeing. Thank you for the educational comment.

Excellent shot! It is so common that almost every house in Tunisia is hanging this Kamsa Hand. I would rather to post it in colors to present the originality of this object. Cheers Kamran.

Isn't it fascinating how symbols like this pop up across religions? A very effective image with a great textural background, although I feel the contrast could be stronger.
