Chandigarh's Open hand symbol-Original & Copy


The first photograph below is of a tile showing 'Fatima's hand'. This is a common symbol used to ward off evil in Morroco, Spain & Portugal.

The second photo is of the much touted 'Open Hand Symbol' of Le Corbusier designed for Chandigarh.

I would be tempted to call it copying without acknowledging the source!
