rabbit's foot
Superstitious pocket charm
A rabbit's foot is the severed hind foot of a rabbit, traditionally carried as a good luck charm.
The superstition has roots in various folk beliefs and was particularly popular in American and European cultures.
People keep them on keychains or in pockets, though the practice has declined as attitudes toward animal-derived talismans have shifted.
