Update on the graveyard
The graves were mounted in putty - dirt cheap plumbers epoxy purchased locally in India for like a tenth of green stuff - and the crosses were covered with an evil eye charm from the arts and crafts store, which I figure makes for a nice non-nondenominational symbol.
Tomorrow spray paint and dry brush and see how it all looks.

I think that’s a hamsa or hand of Fatima, not (just) an evil eye. On a related note, I’d love to have some of those as standards or magic shields for my Bronze Age fantasy armies—where did you get them?

It's a ward against the evil eye yes.
So uh I got them in Kitsons in Hyderabad for 100Rs which doesn't help you.
It's a common symbol in Egypt and Greece so maybe just search for evil eye charms online?

Yeah, I haven’t seen them at Michael’s, and the Judaica shop only sells them as necklaces and keychains, so I guess it’s to Amazon for me.

30 for $7 do you? No?

Maybe 100 for $6 then?

I'm sure there's more out there.

Found this aquarium ornament in a garden centre: useable scale too.
