The mano figa, or "fig hand", is an ancient gesture that has many meanings, including good luck, protection, and fertility: The gesture can be used as an amulet to ward off evil spirits, the evil eye, and jealousy. It can be an obscene gesture - in a good way or a bad way & some say the gesture's obscenity can distract Satan from trying to take your soul. In ancient times, the mano figa was worn as an incantation to the goddess to call for fertility and good times(!). The mano figa has been popular since the Roman era and was worn by Victorians as a good luck charm. In Brazil and Peru, it became a symbol of good luck after colonization in the 17th century. The mano figa can also represent the love of antiquity and femininity... One thing's for sure: It's always a conversation starter!
