Abstract:	"The Hand of Fatima" traces the development and symbolism ascribed to the hand motif in the Arab and Islamic world, and beyond. Richly illustrated, it details the many types of "khamsas" produced historically and today - such as "khamsas" with swords, and "khamsas" with eagles - and the many objects on which "khamsas" appear, such as on amulets and flags. It traces the journey of the "khamsa" into the contemporary world of social and fine art, including museum highlights. Special sections are dedicated to the "khamsa" in Algeria; cultural crossover in Spain, Portugal, and Brazil; and the symbol of the hand in Shi'ism
