Evil Eye Heart Ornament from Turkey

$6.00

This ornament is an amulet that Turkish people believe protects against the Evil Eye: a kind of negative power that even well-intentioned compliments include a conscious or unconscious dose of envy and resentment. The amulet can be seen hanging above doorways, hanging from the rear-view mirrors of cars, hanging around someone's neck, and especially pinned to the shirts of newborn babies.
