Jewish lore as the Hand of
Miriam, from the Hebrew and
Arabic words for "five",
serves as an ancient
talismanic way of averting the
evil eye, or more generally of
providing a "protecting hand"
or "Hand of God." It appears,
often in stylized form, as a
hand with three fingers
raised, and sometimes with two
thumbs arranged symmetrically.
The symbol is used in amulets,
charms, jewelry, door
entrances, cars, and other
places to ward off the evil
eye |
