In Tunisian Berber tradition, the Hand of Fatima (also known as Khamsa or Hamsa) and the crescent moon are two symbols deeply rooted in popular culture and spirituality.

The Hand of Fatima is a symbol of protection against the evil eye, fertility and femininity, spiritual strength, and blessing.

The crescent moon represents the cyclical nature of life, femininity and motherhood, and nighttime protection.

The crescent moon is often combined with the Hand of Fatima in pendants or talismans, strengthening the amulet’s protective and spiritual power.
