HAMSA Charm: The Hamsa, or Hamsa Hand, is a talisman from the ancient Middle East. In its most common form, the amulet is shaped like a hand with three extended fingers in the middle and a curved thumb or pinky finger on either side. It is thought to protect against the "evil eye." It is often displayed on necklaces or bracelets, though it can also be found in other decorative elements like wall hangings.
