Special amulet for protection, not written for someone specific; protects anyone possessing it
.
Most amulets include the name of the person they are designated for, but the amulet before us is open, with no particular name indicated. These types of amulets were usually placed in gold or leather cases.
The amulet: 29×5.5 cm. Placed in an elegant frame: 58×29 cm. Ink on parchment. Scribal writing, partially vowelized. Combined with Oriental script. The amulet is comprised of holy Names, and in contrast, names of demons. Text of the request: “May it be Your will … that You protect and save Your servant, who is bearing this amulet, from demons and destroyers … and from all illness and disease, anxiety, fear, spasm and trembling … and grant him good life and peace, that he not be frightened by bad dreams and thoughts …”
Fine-very fine condition. Minimal stains.
