FROM THE BACK OF THE CARD:
"The use of a representation of the Hand as a talisman can be traced back to at least 800
years B.C., when it was used as a charm against enchantment. Many varieties of the Hand
exist; in some the elaboration is very marked, each devise represents some particular charm.
Life size models of these Hands were supposed to guard the house against all the influences
of magic and evil, and smaller replicas protected their wearers from every description of
harm. The extended thumb and first two fingers, the third and fourth fingers closed, is the
position still assumed during the benediction in some Christian Churches of today."
