It runs along the entire edge of both areas, a border of small radial lines. Anv: Six-pointed star or seal of Solomon with legend in two lines: الملك / لله (Sovereignty belongs to God). The spaces between the outer border and the star are each occupied by a spike-shaped motif, with three points, facing outwards. Rev: Divided into six lines Quranic text in Kufic: أ / حد. (Say: He is the One God, the Eternal God, he did not beget and was not begotten, and has no equal). The piece has a fold break line at the top. (Amulets 121-G11. Type BI, same specimen). Very Fine.
