about the fig
The figa may have several origins and explanations, however, regardless of cultures, we can outline a series of common characteristics for this symbol.
The figa refers in its origin to an obscene, rude gesture that simultaneously represents the penile gland and the vulva, in which a proposal or an idea was literally rejected and another person was offended and disrespected. So obscene and rude, this symbol came to be used to repel bad fluids.
In Roman Italy with mano infica, as well as in Turkey, Ancient Greece, Japan, Russia or Brazil, this gesture has become an amulet of protection crossing time and space to establish itself today as a symbol for ward off evil spirits, the evil eye, envy and jealousy.
