CALIPHAL PERIOD. Rectangular amulet. (Pb. 10.97g/38x34mm). Possibly 10th century. Rectangular lead plaque with signs of having been folded, the lower section of which appears to be missing. In both areas, a well-executed linear Kufic Quranic text is displayed, running along an epigraphic band that borders the piece and a central field of which five lines remain on the obverse and six on the reverse. The piece retains a hanging or suspension ring at the top, and on its sides, remnants of two smaller rings. There are also two small perforations just below these rings. (Amulets 364-N4. Type AV, same example). VF.
