This stunning Hamsa Hand of Fatima Staff Standard Emblem Alam has recently been added to the site, and I’m personally trilled as this beauty deserves to be seen! Standards are used in many parts of the Muslim world by the Shi'a community in processions marking the martyrdom of Imam Husain, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who died at the battle of Karbala in A.D. 680. Made in India, probably Hyderabad, Deccan in the late 19th–early 20th century.
