CALIPHAL OR LATER PERIOD. Amulet-case. (Pb. 19.22g/26x14mm). Possibly 10th-12th century. Cylindrical lead case with an oval lid and two facing fastening rings at the top. The decoration is based on a succession of parallel bands along the piece. The first contains a well-executed epigraphic band in Kufic and some of the upper letter endings finished with a bevel and swan's neck, while the second features a repeated wave motif. This pattern appears to be repeated three times, with a total of six bands, separated from each other by a very fine border of diagonal stripes. (Similar to Amulets 231. Type B-Tubes-with two handles). VF+. https://wearenumismatics.com/alandalus-amulets/G14.html
