The Hand of Fatima or the Hand of Miriam is a very ancient protector against the evil eye. The Evil Eye is seen as a form of natural magick, like when someone will look at you with a look of envy or ill-will. That intention is seen by ancient people as being injurious. Symbols like this seek to protect the person by reflecting it back at them. The background is full of nemo's symbol for magick, the star within the internal spiral.
