The Hamsa is one of the most famous charms in the world, familiar with both Jews and Muslims who sees in the Hamsa Hand a talisman against misfortune and evil eye. The words 'Hamsa' and 'Hamesh' means number five and refer to the number of fingers on the hand. Most Hamsa hand appears with two bilaterally symmetrical form thumbs. Many Hamsa hands have the image of an eye or a gemstone in the palm, a symbol for god's eye watching from above. The eye in Hamsa hand is a common item in Israel, Islamic countries, India, Latin and South America and the United States. Hamsa hand can be made in any media from gold, silver, copper, pewter or wood, and can appear in a multitude of sizes, from small jewelries to wall decoration. The Hamsa hand can be facing either upward or downward. Most often Hamsa hands are worn around the neck with the fingers facing down. In many Jewish homes there are Hamsa hands on doorways or on the walls, placed to keep evil eye away. Many Hamsa Hands are azure colored, as for the Jewish belief of it being a color against evil eye.
Although most Hamsa hands are amulets, modern Israeli Hamsas are sometimes made in the form of ceramic wall plaques in which a hand-lettered Hebrew prayer appears in the center of the palm. The Hamsa Hand is used to draw good fortune, happiness and good health to the wearer or the house it's placed in. In its role of protection, The Hamsa is also believed to protect from the evil eye. The Hamsa is also believed to bring blessings from God, and to calm and help focus on different tasks.
