Victorian Silver Gilt Rock Crystal Mano Figa Hand PendantThe Figa symbol, with a history dating back 8,000 years, depicts a hand with the thumb situated between the index and middle fingers. The term "Mano Figa" originates from Etruscan Italy, where "Mano" means hand and "Figa" refers to the slang term for a woman's private parts. These objects were traditionally worn as an incantation to the goddesses, and a plea for fertility, virility, and prosperity (with close connections to Bacchus). These symbols
The Figa symbol, with a history dating back 8,000 years, depicts a hand with the thumb situated between the index and middle fingers. The term "Mano Figa" originates from Etruscan Italy, where "Mano" means hand and "Figa" refers to the slang term for a woman's private parts. These objects were traditionally worn as an incantation to the goddesses, and a plea for fertility, virility, and prosperity (with close connections to Bacchus). These symbols were typically crafted from sacred materials such as silver or blood coral, representing Luna, the goddess of the moon, and Venus, the goddess of the sea, respectively.
Throughout South America's history of colonisation, the Figa symbol gained widespread recognition and, starting in the early 17th century, was produced in the region due to the influence of Christianity. Today, the figa is frequently worn in Brazil and Peru as a protective symbol against the evil eye. Its vulgar gesture is believed to divert Satan's attention away from tempting one's soul. Due to its association with femininity and motherhood, it is customary in Brazil to tie a small black figa onto a child's wrist for warding off misfortune.
It looks stunning on a chain, or simply as a curiosity - and it will certainly be a talking point!
