Dating back to the ancient Phoenician civilization, the open
right hand was thought to honor Tanit, the Moon Goddess. It evolved into the
hamsa hand, an important talisman throughout the Middle East, representing peace
and prosperity. Today, the hamsa hand is a symbol of protection, power, strength
and blessings that crosses all
cultures.
