This is a picture of a evil eye talisman/nazar. This is an example of commodification because cultures around the Mediterranean, mostly in the middle east around Greece and Turkey, believed that the nazar protected against the "evil eye"(the look that people gave you behind your back that were jealous or disliked you to give you bad luck). When the idea came to America, people started selling it to make profit off it. Usually in the form of a bracelet or key chain. Anthony H Not my creation Nazar amulet
