Old Bedouin Arab Sword Jambiya Khanjar
Dagger Knife
…beautiful collection and display piece
Old Bedouin Arab Sword Jambiya Khanjar Dagger Knife, a beautiful collection and
display piece… This Dagger has the hamsa,
or the hand of Fatima on the handle and two times on the sheath; The hamsa,
is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North
Africa and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings. Depicting
the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in
many times throughout history, the hamsa is believed by some,
predominantly Muslims and Jews, to provide defense against the evil eye.
It has been theorized that its origins lie in Ancient Egypt or Carthage (modern-day Tunisia)
and may have been associated with the Goddess Tanit.
Khamsah is an Arabic word
that means "five", but also "the five fingers of the hand".
The Hamsa is also
variously known as the Hand of Fatima after the daughter of the
prophet Muhammad, the Hand of Mary, the Hand of Miriam, and
the Hand of the Goddess.
