CALIFAL PERIOD. Rectangular amulet. (Pb. 7.57g/35x21mm). Possibly 10th century. Rectangular one-strap clamp. Anv: Inscribed a smaller rectangle longitudinally in which four epigraphic cartouches are inserted separated from each other and from the smaller sides of the rectangle by five smooth bands. The long sides of the piece grow towards the back to form the box in which the strap was inserted, fixed by a rivet from which the hole remains in the first of the epigraphic bands, which has almost completely lost its writing. The inscription, despite having lost the content of the first cartouche, should have read: لا اله ا / لا لله / محمد / رسول الله. (there is no other god / but God / Muhammad / is the Messenger of God). Rev: Anepigraph. (Amulets Type A-IV; Piece published in Manquso Nº14, page 169, by Tawfiq Ibrahim and Sebastián Gaspariño). Very Fine.
