CALIFAL PERIOD. Rectangular amulet. (Pb. 11.80g/47x31mm.) Possibly 10th century. Rectangular lead plate with signs of having been folded in the form of a diptych. A border of small diagonal scratch runs along the entire edge of both areas. Anv: Quranic text in linear Kufic: قل هو / ألله أحد ألله / الصمد لم يلد / و لم يولد / و لم / يكن له كفوا / أحد . (Say: He / is the Only God, God / Eternal, he did not beget / and was not begotten, / and has / no like / any). Rev: Quranic text in cursive Kufi of which we have only been able to obtain the transcription of the third line: .../.../ الملكية لله /.../.../... (... the reality is God ....). (Amulets 112-G3. Type A-IX, same specimen). Very Fine.
