ALMOHAD PERIOD. Amulet. (Weight 19.16g/34x34x5mm). Possibly 13th-14th century. Bronze appliqué with glass paste inlays and multiple traces of gilding. Obverse: It features a circular field surrounded by eight semicircles, each containing a three-petaled flower and traces of different colors: red, green, and blue. The central field contains a pseudo-eight-pointed star with writing inside, which appears to read: "li-llah" (By God!). Reverse: No inscription. The piece has a visible diagonal crack in both areas, giving the impression that it has been glued. (Amulets 388-N28. Propitiatory type; Piece published in Manquso No. 14, p. 146 by Sebastián Gaspariño, same copy). VF.
