ALMORAVID PERIOD OR LATER. Rectangular amulet. (Pb. 16.40g/68x33mm). Possibly 12th-15th century. Rectangular lead plaque divided into two parts with signs of having been folded as a diptych. The piece retains, on the lower part, two of the three openwork triangular crenellations that it must have had as a suspension element. Obv: No inscription. Rev: Quranic texts in elegant and well-drawn Kufic script, which develop in an epigraphic band that surrounds the piece and, in turn, frames a central field divided into two parts. Central texts: لا إله إلّا ألله محمد / رسول ألله الملك / و الواحد لله. (There is no god but God. Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Power and Oneness belong to God.) بسم ألله لا إله / إلّا هو و الملائكة و / أولوا العلم قائما با / لقسط لا إله إلّا هو / العزيز الحكيم. (In the name of God, there is no god but Him, and the angels and those endowed with knowledge proclaim with truth: There is no god but Him, the Mighty, the Wise.) Margin: توكلت على الحيّ الذّي ـ الحيّ الذّي لا يموت (In the name of God, the Merciful, the Merciful! Alive that - the Alive that does not die). (Amulets 365-N11. Type AV, same specimen). Very Fine.
