Hamsa, or "Fatima's Hand" (or "Fatima's Hand") or "Mary's Hand", is a symbol and amulet in the shape of a human hand popular especially in the Middle East and North Africa, where it is commonly used as jewelry or wall decorations.

It shows the palm of the right hand, which has been considered a sign of protection in many societies throughout history. Hamsa is therefore supposed to protect itself from an enchanting view. Therefore, this amulet is in some cases decorated with the eye.

Therefore, this amulet is in some cases decorated with the eye. In Arabic, the word "hamsa" indicates not only the number 5, but also five fingers.

The oldest evidence of the depiction of a hamsa was traced to ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), where it was a universal sign of protection. The symbol of the open right hand can be seen on the Mesopotamian artifacts in the amulets of the goddess Ishtar.

In ancient Egypt, the hand symbol with two raised fingers was associated with the divine couple Isis and Osiris, and the thumb marked their son Horus. An amulet with this symbol was used to provide protection in the form of parents' spirits over their child.
