About The Nubians, who are believed to be one of the earliest civilizations on earth, were traditionally settled farmers whose villages always lay close to the Nile.

Nubian houses are famed for their domes and beautiful painted facades. The Nubians originally developed the art of decorating houses as a way to prevent evil or counteract it, however much speculation now exists that the images were a form of cultural expression. Showing pride, prestige and a way to adorn the countryside.

Nubian painted houses can still be found today and have taken on modern day themes in addition to remaining loyal to older traditional patterns.

Hi Amna,
Thanx dear for your continuous support.
Actually these hands prints are called "khamsa" which literally means "five".
It is an amulet which serves as an ancient talismanic way of averting and getting protection from the evil eye; i.e.; providing a "protecting hand" or "Hand of God".
You could find some people wearing it (piece of jewelry) as a pendant for personal protection.
Take care Amna, my God bless you,
Khaled.
