The Hamsa is a very powerful symbol of protection where I come from, and, in fact, also in the middle east and North Africa. I was fascinated with this emblem and studied it for a while ,only to find many parallel myths from different cultures (Phoenicians, Muslims, Jaws ) . I was was particularly taken by the feminine powerful aspect of it. Here it is in a bed of Pomegranates (fertility ,success, wellbeing) imbedded with ancient text which is a blessing for a woman to fill her prophecy ,come into her power and inspire.
