Hand of Fatima

I recently purchased this pendant.
It is a talisman typical of Morocco.
I wonder if someone can infer the age from the marks.
Any information will be precious

A small step forward.
I found on the Internet some pages of the book
Bijoux du Maroc du Haut Atlas à la Méditerranée, depuis le temps des juifs ...
 Marie-Rose Rabaté, Jean-Louis Thau
On page 201 you see the pictures of the marks that exist on my Khamsa.
Captions are almost illegible due to the low image quality, but it seems that this is Casablanca between 1892 and 1925.
I'm looking for the paper book to understand better.
If I have more news, I will post.
Regards Amena
