MuseƩ de Marrakech. A hamsa, used by Morrocan Jews to ward off the evil eye. The Same symbol, minus the star of david, is also known in Islam as the hand of Fatima (Fatima being one of Mohammed's daughters) and is work by Moroccan women to ward off the evil eye also. We saw lots of this cross cultural sharing between Jews and Muslims in Morocco.
