AMORAVID OR ALMOHADE PERIOD. Rectangular amulet. (Pb. 5.78g/39x24mm). Possibly 12th-13th century. Rectangular lead plate divided into two parts with signs of having been folded into a triptych. The upper part retains three suspension rings. The entire piece borders, on the front and back, a band running through a line of circles with a central point. The legends are divided into seven lines in each area, in what seems like a litany with the names of God. anv: ـ يا /قيوم يا رؤف / يا ا رب. Rev: مول ى يا باقي /يا ب ادئ يا نور . The writing is done in simple Kufic, with soft strokes and a tendency to curve, although rough and careless, without maintaining the baseline lines of writing. (Amulets 424-TN25. Type A-IV, same specimen). Almost Very Fine.
