The hand of Fatima is a well-known symbol.
Often it is seen as a protective amulet (I have been told to stop evil), and it originates in Islam.

In this hand of Fatima I have incorporated a flower of blue innocence in the encaustic background, which I found symbolically beautiful.

The entire hand is 4.5 by 3.8 centimeters, the cabochon with the flower is 14mm in diameter.

I plan to make more hands, which flower would you like to see in it, or not a flower? #werkjevandedag #handjevanfatima #encausticart #symbool #amulet
