Persian Handmade Evil Eye Turkish Nazar Wall Hanging A nazar (from Arabic ‏نظر‎, meaning sight, surveillance, attention, and other related concepts) is an eye-shaped amulet believed to protect against the evil eye. Hindi, Urdu and Persian have borrowed the term as well.[1] In Turkey, it is known by the indigenous name nazar boncuğu (the latter word being a derivative of boncuk, "bead") and historically as mâvi boncuk or Old Turkic: gökçe munçuk, both meaning "blue bead"[2]. In Persian and Afghan folklore, it is called a cheshm nazar (Persian: چشم نظر‎‎) or nazar ghorboni (Persian: نظرقربونی‎‎).[3] In India and Pakistan, the Hindi-Urdu slogan Chashm-e-Baddoor is used to ward off the evil eye.
