In the back, the Shark Art Car.

This symbol is the hamsa hand, also called the Hand of Fatima in Islam and Hand of Miriam in Judaism (it is not the hand of Buddha!). The hamsa is a symbol of protection, strength, and power that dates back to ancient Mesopotamia. It is a popular symbol in the Middle East and North Africa, and is often used in wall hangings and jewelry. The hamsa is believed to protect against negative energies and the evil eye. It is also said to attract positive energies, which can lead to good health, happiness, fortune, and luck. For more info about the Hamsa (hand symbol), go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamsa.
