The Figa, also called the “mano fico,” is an Italian symbol going back many centuries. The symbol is a closed fist, with the thumb going through the index and middle fingers. It is said to ward off the “evil eye” and bring protection to the wearer. This piece is constructed of a dark polished wood base with metal adornments as fingernails and a bracelet on the wrist. The base is a heavy and intricately designed metal crown with a loop to house a chain. This piece is in excellent condition and measures 6" L and 1.5" W. Please see all photos for details.
