Top link, anon, thanks.
Interesting that images of any of Allah's creations are banned in Islamic art (unless anyone knows differently) but this one has fish, the sign of Christianity. Guessing it might then be from North African/Middle Eastern Christians?
OP here forgot to mention I am a girl if that helps.

Mesopotamian symbol used before 2000 BCE.
Muslim religion founded in 600 CE.
You're only off by a few millenia, no biggie.

So you bought that not knowing a hamsa was a thing. Did you think it was just something surreal and then later realized it was a symbol of some kind and thought to ask us? Or were you aware it was a symbol, bought it not knowing of what, and only recently became curious?

I bought it because it stood out to me compared to the other stuff the guy was selling. I then saw images of it floating around on the internet and it didnt occure to me until now to question what it actually meant.
