The bronze Figa Fist Good Luck amulet charm is 1 1/8"x 1/2" (28mm x 15mm) Keychain diameter 1" (25 mm). In Italy this sign, known as mano in fica ("fig-hand") for the resemblance to female genitalia, was a common and very rude gesture in past centuries, similar to the finger, but has long since fallen out of use. Notably, a remnant of its usage is found in Dante's Divine Comedy (Inferno, Canto XXV), and it is commonly represented in medieval paintings of the Man of Sorrow. In Turkey, it is an obscene gesture equivalent to showing the middle finger, and is also used to show disagreement at a statement or to deny a request. In the latter sense, it is often accompanied by the (rude) "nah!" conveying negation. It is used in a similar context in Bulgaria. In many countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, Denmark, and the Czech Republic, this sign has no obscene meaning and is instead used in a game where a player "steals" someone else's nose. This is usually done with small children where the player pretends to take their nose and then say "I've got your nose". The thumb represents the "stolen" nose held between the player's index and middle finger. In Portugal, it is a gesture of good luck, or even wishing good luck.
