This hand chiseled tin hamsa was handcrafted by artisans from the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. The Fatima hand, also known as the Hamsa hand or Hand of Fatima, is a symbol that is common in Middle Eastern and North African cultures, and is believed to bring protection, good fortune, and happiness to its wearer. 

In the Oaxacan tin version of the Fatima hand, the hand is depicted with a heart in the center, which symbolizes love and compassion. The tin used to create the Fatima hand is carefully shaped and hammered into the intricate design, with the artisan using a chisel to create the details and patterns on the surface.

The Fatima hand with a heart is a popular decorative item that can be used to adorn a wall or tabletop, and it is often given as a gift to friends and loved ones. Its unique design and cultural significance make it a distinctive and meaningful addition to any collection of folk art or decorative objects.
