FIGA - AzK Jewelry
€90.00
The Figa is a gesture that evolved into a sign, symbol, and talisman. It is a powerful apotropaic symbol from the ancient Mediterranean and Greco-Roman world. Traditionally, it was worn as an amulet to promote fertility and to protect the wearer from the evil eye and witchcraft, but it also served as an obscene gesture. In this sense, it could be viewed as the female counterpart to the "finger fuck" gesture.
Today, the Figa is known as the "mano fico" in Italy, where it remains a popular amulet, often carved from coral. It originated as a representation of the fig fruit, which in Greco-Roman culture was linked to fertility and the female genitalia.
