Classic Vintage Mano Cornuto Charm 10k Gold Chain:20"An 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 gesture was to be performed with fingers pointing down, unless your intention was to offend instead of protect. Very good vintage condition with wear commensurate with age. Details: 14k
