I knew it is a superstition behing that knockers. I am a very curious person, so, I just researched these hands. They are called The Hand(s) of Fatima, used as a talismans to ward off the evil eye.
Wow, I know exactly what that means. In Europe, we have different superstitions, and actually be trully believe in them :))
