ALMORAVID PERIOD OR LATER. Rectangular amulet. (Pb. 12.26g/42x32mm). Possibly 12th-14th century. Rectangular lead plate with signs of having been folded in the form of a triptych and Quranic texts in elegant Kufic, with some flowery letters. Anv: Divided into six lines of which only the first is completely readable: بسم الله الرحمن الر / حيم ـ ـ ـ ـ. (In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful!.....) Rev: Divided into seven lines: قل هو ألله أحد ألله / الصمد لم يلد / و لم يولد و لم / يكن له كفوا/ حسبي ـ أحد / ألله و هو السميح / العلي ـ ـ. (Say: He is the One God, the Eternal God, he did not beget and was not begotten, and has no equal. God is enough for me, He is the Benevolent, the Illustrious...). The upper part appears to be repaired-glued. (Amulets 44-G5. Type A-II, same specimen). Very Fine.
