Hand of Fatima (rock formation)

The Hand of Fatima, also called Gami Tondo, and the Needles of Gami (La Main de Fatima or Aiguilles de Gami) is a rock formation in the Mopti Region of Mali near Hombori consisting of a number of sandstone pillars. The formation was named for its appearance of similarity to a human hand, particularly that of Muhammed's daughter, which is a protective symbol in Islamic tradition known as the Hamsa. The formation's "fingers" are named Kaga Pamari, Kaga Tondo, Wangel, Debridu, and Suri Tondo.
