The Hamsa is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings. It’s a sign of protection. The hamsa is believed by some, predominantly Jews, Christians and Muslims, to provide defense against the evil eye.

It is also incorporated into high-end jewellery, decorative tilework and wall decorations.
