Hamsa
Hamsa (arap. خمسة, khomsah — pet) bliskoistočna je amajlija u obliku ljudske šake. Sem na Bliskom istoku, popularna je i u severnoj Africi, gde je obično u upotrebi kao nakit ili se kači na zid.[1][2] Kako predstavlja otvorenu šaku, ova amajlija je korišćena kao zaštita mnogih semitskih naroda od urokljivog oka.
U avramskim religijama, hamsa ima posebne nazive, pa je muslimani nazivaju Fatiminom (prema Muhamedovoj ćerki Fatimi Zahri), Jevreji Mirjaminom, a hrišćani Marijinom rukom (prema Isusovoj majci). Naziv na arapskom jeziku znači pet, jer šaka na amajliji ima pet prstiju — magičan broj za stare Semite.[3][4][5]
Svoje poreklo petoprsta ruka vodi iz Mesopotamije. Ovaj simbol je prisutan na artefaktima posvećenim asirsko-vavilonskim boginjama Ištar i Inani kao opšti znak zaštite.[2] Kod turkijskih naroda, istu namenu ima suzolika amajlija nazar, dok je kod hrišćana približni ekvivalent krstić, ogrlica sa simbolom ove veroispovesti.
