The Red Hand of Ulster () is an Irish Gaelic symbol used in heraldry〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Irish Ancestors /Heraldic traditions )〕 to denote the Irish province of Ulster. It is shown in two forms, as a dexter (right) hand (used as a symbol in Ulster) and a sinister (left) hand (used in the coats of arms of baronets). It is an open hand coloured red, with the fingers pointing upwards, the thumb held parallel to the fingers, and the palm facing forward. It is less commonly known as the ''Red Hand of O'Neill''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=DJ O'Neill )〕 Its origins are said to be attributed to the mythical Irish figure Labraid Lámh Dhearg of the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Search Results for Labraid Lámderg )〕 (Red Hand Labraid), and appear in other mythical tales passed down from generation to generation in the oral tradition. The symbol is rooted in Irish Gaelic culture and is particularly associated with the Uí Néill clan of Ulster. ==Dexter hand== The form in common use in Ulster today is an open right hand coloured red, with the fingers pointing upwards, the thumb held parallel to the fingers, and the palm facing forward.
