ALMORAVID PERIOD OR LATER. Rectangular amulet. (Pb. 16.40g/68x33mm). Possibly 12th-15th century. Rectangular lead plate divided into two parts with signs of having been folded in the form of a diptych. The piece preserves in the lower part, two of the three openwork triangular battlements that it must have had as a suspension element. Anv: Anepigragus. Rev: Quranic texts in elegant and well-written Kufic, which develops in an epigraphic band that surrounds the piece and frames, in turn, 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. The power / and Oneness is from God.) ائما با / لقسط لا إله إلّا هو / العزيز الحكيم. (In the name of God, there is no other god / that He and the angels and / those endowed with / knowledge proclaim with / truth: There is no other god but He, / the Mighty, the Wise). Margin: بسم ألله ال رحمم ام لى الحيّ الذّي ـ الحيّ الذّي لا يموت (In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful! /... .....and I take refuge /.......... from royalty. / And I trust in the Alive who - the Alive who does not die e). (Amulets 365-N11. Type AV, same specimen). Very Fine.
