Hamsa - the Hamsa Hand, or Hand of Miriam, is one of the original symbols for protection.
The hamsa eye-charm is considered to be effective in warding off the influence of envious gazing.
It is believed that the one who has it in their possession will receive protection from the EVIL EYE and it will create positive energy, happiness, prosperity and good health. The Hamsa (root means "five") symbolizes the Creators protective hand.
