Hamsa Hand Tapestry — Evil Eye Protection Wall Hanging

The Hamsa hand — one of the oldest protective symbols in human history — rendered as a wall hanging for your home. This Hamsa hand tapestry presents the open hand symbol in its pure form: the five-fingered hand with the eye at the centre, the symbol that has been used across Middle Eastern, North African, Jewish, Islamic, and Christian communities for millennia as an amulet against the evil eye and as an invitation for blessing, good fortune, and protection to enter the space it occupies.

The meaning of the Hamsa hand

Hamsa is the Arabic and Hebrew word for five — the five fingers of the protective hand. In Jewish tradition it is known as the Hand of Miriam (Moses’s sister); in Islamic tradition as the Hand of Fatima (the Prophet’s daughter); in early Christian communities of the Middle East as the Hand of Mary. The same symbol, the same meaning, across three of the world’s major religious traditions — which is why the Hamsa is understood as a universally inclusive symbol of protection and blessing that transcends any single religious claim to it. The eye at the centre of the palm watches constantly for the evil eye — the harmful attention or envy of others — and deflects it before it can affect the people the hand protects.
