THE CHAIN MEASURES 9 3/8 INCHES FROM THE TOP SWIVEL CLASP TO THE END OF THE BARBELL AND THE CHAIN WITH THE FIST FOB MEASURES 2 3/4 INCHES LONG. HERE IS WHAT I FOUND ON THE VICTORIAN FIGA SYMBOL: \"The Figa (fee-gah) is a symbol of an age-old myth in Africa, this clenched-fist good-luck charm came to Brazil with its XVII century slavetrade. As its memories paled over generations, belief in its powers to increase warriors\' fertility also faded, and until present it is prized by Brazilians for luck, prosperity, and protection.\"
