Tür-Klopfer / Door-knockers

Der Türbeschlag in der Collage rechts oben wird Hand der Fatima genannt und der Klopfer stellt sie ebenfalls dar.

 

The door fitting in the collage on the top right is called the Hand of Fatima and the knocker also represents it.

----------------------------------

 

Die Hand der Fatima ist einmal als Distanzgeste ein magisches Abwehrmittel, zum anderen ist es eine Segen spendende Hand, ein Symbol für Kraft und Glück.

 

 

The Hamsa is also variously known as the Hand of Fatima after the daughter of the prophet Muhammad.

The Hand (Khamsa), particularly the open right hand, is a sign of protection that also represents blessings, power and strength, and is seen as potent in deflecting the evil eye.
