The Hamsa symbol is a hand-shaped amulet that is widely used in architecture for protection and good luck. The Hamsa is believed to have originated from the ancient Middle East and is commonly associated with Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, among other religions. In architecture, the Hamsa symbol is commonly incorporated into the design of buildings, gates, and other structures as a protective talisman. The palm of the hand is believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune, while the eye in the center of the hand is thought to provide protection from the evil eye. The Hamsa is also a popular symbol used in jewelry and other decorative objects.
