Hamsa Eye Talisman

In Greece, the Mati pendant actually dates all the way back to the 6th Century B.C in ancient times.

Attempts to ward off the curse of the evil eye has resulted in a number of talismans in many cultures. As a class, they are called “apotropaic” (Greek for “prophylactic” / προφυλακτικός or “protective”, literally: “turns away”) talismans, meaning that they turn away or turn back harm. (Wiki)
