In Arab culture, the meaning of this pattern is “Hand of Fatima”. Fatima is the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, who is the legendary moon goddess in Arab mythology. It is said that her hands can heal all diseases of believers. So Hand of Fatima is a symbol of blessings for peace and health in Arab culture. Arabs like to make gold and silver jewelry in this shape to wear as their talisman.

Now the hamsa hand is widely used in the jewelry design, such as Hamsa ring, hamsa hand earrings, necklace and so on.
