Classic Vintage Mano Cornuto july 27 Despite its heavy constructionAn ancient Italian symbol, the mano cornuto (mano=hand corno=horn) is one of several gestures meant to protect from malocchio, the the evil eye. The evil eye was thought to particularly target mothers and babies, men's sperm, and fruit bearing trees forces of life! The gesture was to be performed with fingers pointing down, unless your intention was to offend instead of protect. Very good vintage condition with minor wear. Details: 18k yellow gold,
