Automatically generated translation

CALIFAL OR TAIFAS PERIOD. Amulet-case. (Pb. 15.00g/26x24X7mm). Possibly 10th-11th century. Rectangular lead case with an opening on the smaller left side and part of three suspension or fastening elements at the top. In both areas, framed by a knitted border, three lines of elegant and well-designed Kufic writing, with the shafts of the tall letters finished with a bevel and some "swan neck" finish. Anv: قل هو ألله أحد / ألله الصمد لم / يلد و لم يولد. (Say: He is the One God, / the Eternal God, he did not / begot and was not begotten). Rev: و لم يكن له / كفوا أحد / الملك لله (and has none / like none. / The majesty is of God). (Similar to Amulets 196 and 197. Type A-Boxes-III). Very Fine.
