The hand of Fatima or khamsa is a typical amulet of the Middle East and the Maghreb. For the Jews it is the hand of Miriam, sister of Moses and Aaron. In the Muslim world, however, this is a symbol of freedom as the legend tells that a woman named Fatima sacrificed her hand to be freed. In this illustration, this religious symbol is inserted into a composition with a shield and two axes and can take on different meanings depending on the purpose you want to achieve. This illustration can be used as decoration
