EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intricately painted Hamsa hands adorning the entrance of a house in Nefta, Tunisia, from the 1980s. The Hamsa hand, also known as the Hand of Fatima or the Hand of Miriam, is a popular symbol of protection and good fortune in Arab and Muslim cultures, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East. The Hamsa hand is depicted with an open palm, extending the thumb to touch the tip of the pinky finger, forming a circular design. The symbol is believed to ward off the evil eye and protect against the malevolent influence of negative energies and evil spirits. The intricate patterns and colors of the Hamsa hands in this photograph add to their mystical allure, making them a striking visual representation of the deep-rooted superstitions and beliefs of the people of Nefta. Nefta, located in the Sahel region of Tunisia, is situated near the border of Algeria and the Sahara Desert. The town is known for its rich history and cultural traditions, which have been shaped by the diverse influences of various civilizations, including Phoenicians, Romans, Berbers, and Arabs. The Hamsa hand is just one of the many symbols and practices that reflect the unique and complex cultural heritage of Nefta and its people. This photograph, taken in 1987, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the enduring significance of the Hamsa hand as a protective talisman and a symbol of hope and luck in the daily lives of the people of Nefta and beyond.
