Hand of Peace Necklace

Figa Hand of Peace Necklace in sterling silver . 

The hand of peace is capped with an organic textured sterling silver handmade fitting . Carved in black horn  - naturally and ethically sourced. The very fine hand has been hand carved by JJ my wonderful friend that discovered bone carving as a therapuetic tool when in rehab many years ago. 

Inspired by the figa hand charms which the gesture uses a thumb wedged in between two fingers. This gesture is most commonly used to ward off the evil eye, insult someone, or deny a request. Because of its origins in Southern Europe or Latin Europe, the gesture was imported to Latin America.

The hand of peace is the Karana mudra is a sacred hand gesture or "seal" used during yoga and meditation practice as a means of channeling the flow of vital life force energy known as prana.
