- The fig sign is a hand gesture using a thumb wedged between two fingers. The gesture is commonly used to ward off the evil eye, insult someone or deny a request. It is used playfully in Northwestern Europe to pretend to take the nose off a child.
- The unsuspecting victim may chase the nose thief to retrieve their nose or may retaliate by stealing the first person's (or someone else's) nose. The hand position used when stealing a nose is also known as the fig sign; in Japan, it refers to copulation.
- 16 x 16 bag with two 14 long and 1 wide black cotton webbing strap handles.
- Made of a lightweight, spun polyester canvas-like fabric.
- All seams and stress points are double-stitched for durability, and the reinforced bottom flattens to fit more items and hold larger objects.
- Spot clean/dry clean only.
