Vintage Coral Manu Fica Amulet platinum The cornucopia - the hornCool miniature manu fica (aka mano figa, fig hand, etc.) pendant, dating from the 1970s. This one's carved from a single piece of coral and features 18 carat gold fittings with Italian markings. The "Fig Hand" has many names across the world on account of its significance to a broad range of cultures, however it traces its origins back at least as far as ancient Rome and Turkey where it was a mildly offensive obscene gesture. It's super easy to make.
