I had to look "hamsa" up when I found this stitched Hamsa model by Pepita. The dictionary says this is a stylized hand shaped good luck amulet thought to be derived from religions in the Middle East and Northern Africa.

If you follow the links, there are several other Hamsa canvases. They are perfect for lovers of ethnic designs or just for someone who needs a little extra luck in their lives. Thanks for opening my eyes, Pepita!
