The hamsa is a classic symbol of protection in both Judaic and Arabic cultures. The name of the hand-shaped amulet actually comes from the Arabic word for "five," a reference to the five fingers. Sometimes known as a God's Hand or the Hand of Fatima, the hamsa usually has an eye depicted in the palm to help ward off the Evil Eye. That is replaced here in the larger hamsa with an imprint of the Hebrew letter ש (shin), which by itself is used to represent God in Jewish art.
