  • The Hamsa Hand of Fatima traces its origins to Ancient Civilizations that once flourished across North Africa and the Middle East. Its earliest echoes appear in Carthaginian Amulets, in the Protective Hands of Tanit, the Phoenician Goddess of Fertility and the Moon.
  •  Later, as Islam spread across Morocco, the Hand became entwined with the figure of Fatima Zahra, the Daughter of the Prophet Muhammad. Her name gave the symbol a new depth—one of Resilience, Purity, and Divine Grace.
  • The Five Fingers of the Hamsa Hand of Fatima are said to represent the Five Pillars of Islam, each a Testament to Faith’s endurance. Yet, its significance is not confined to a single belief. In Jewish Communities across Morocco, the Hamsa—known as the Hand of Miriam—is revered just as deeply, a Talisman of Protection against the Evil Eye. 
  • In Berber Culture, too, the Hand appears woven into carpets, painted on homes, carved into silver—each manifestation a quiet invocation of Security and Luck.
