CALIFAL OR TAIFAS PERIOD. Rectangular amulet. (Pb. 7.45g/43x24mm). Possibly 10th-11th century. Rectangular lead plate with no signs of having been bent. In both areas, framed by a narrow band in which a scratch motif is repeated, seven lines of Quranic text in elegant Kufic script, with the tall letters finished in a bevel. anv: عْبُدْ رَبَّكَ / حتّى ياتيك اليقين / حسبي ألله و كفل prayer and do not/be one of the careless/and worship your Lord/until death comes to you./God is enough for me and keeps me). Rev.: وت و سي كفيكهم / أللهُ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الع َليمُ. (I fortify myself in the one who has/glory, and majesty,/and omnipotence and/trusted in the/Living one who does not/die. It will be enough for you against them/God, He is the one who hears everything, the one who knows everything) . One of the two circular elements on the upper edge is detached. (Amulets 369-N13. Type A-IV, same specimen). Very Fine.
