The gesture of the thumb protruding between the pointer finger and middle finger has a variety of different meanings dating back nearly 8,000 years. The specific symbolism that gave rise to the charm that we refer to as a Mano Figa originate in Etruscan Italy. Mano Figa Mano means hand and Figa means fig, a slang term for femininity. In ancient times, it was worn as an incantation to The Goddess, a call for fertility, virility, and good times. In South America, they are commonly worn throughout as a symbol of protection against the evil eye.
