Hamsa Jewelry
The hamsa has been interpreted by scholars as a Jewish, Christian, or Islamic amulet, and as a pagan fertility symbol. Today, it is recognized as a kabbalistic amulet and as an important symbol in Jewish art.
In Judaism, the hamsa is often called the "hand of God" and can be traced back to Biblical times on ancient Israelite tombs dating back to the 8th century BCE.
In Deuteronomy 5:15, the Ten Commandments refer to God's "strong hand" that led the Jews out of Egypt. In Jewish art, the hamsa is often depicted as God's hand reaching down from heaven.
