About The Artwork
The hamsa (from the Semite root meaning five) includes five digits and symbolizes God's protective hand. It has been interpreted by scholars as a Jewish, Christian, or Islamic amulet. It has been called the hand of Fatima, and the hand of Miriam. The hamsa was an ancient talismanic method of averting the Evil Eye, or more generally, of providing a "protecting hand" known to draw positive energy, happiness, riches and health. It appears, often in a stylized form, as a hand with three fingers raised, and sometimes with two thumbs arranged symmetrically. The line markings are based on henna tattoos. This amulet was made for the Cultural Heritage Artists Project I, in New Haven, CT, USA.
