ALMOHADES, Abu Hafs Omar al-Murtada. Multiple of 4 Dirhams. (Ar. 6.17g/21mm). Al-Hadrat al-Muminiya al-Murtadiya (Sejilmesa). (Hohertz (2018) A563, where the entire legend was translated (his type A563), but without finding the upper reverse line, which translates as "God, [with His] glory and greatness, is our Lord"; Brethes 1074 , where a specimen with the same distribution is cited, although with partial reading due to poor conservation and with a weight of 3 grams). Extremely Fine. Beautiful, unpublished and extremely rare copy with the Kufic epigraphy very well cared for and maintaining its original brilliance.

CALIFAL OR TAIFAS PERIOD. Amulet-case. (Pb. 23.30g/29x29x11mm.) Possibly 10th-11th century. Hexagonal lead case with the lateral faces raised in the center. Anv: Six-pointed star or seal of Solomon with writing in the center. It seems to say Allah or bi-Allah: بألله (by God), but it may also be Hebrew. Rev: Only part of a circle can be seen, since the piece has a tear that completely affects one of the lateral faces, which has disappeared. (Amulets 384-N21. Type A-Boxes-IV, same specimen). Very Fine.

CALIFAL OR LATER PERIOD. Amulet-case. (Pb. 16.20g/30x22mm). Possibly 10th-12th century. Lead case in a cylindrical shape with an oval lid and two fastening rings facing each other at the top. The decoration is based on a succession of parallel bands throughout the piece. The first contains a well-executed Kufic epigraphic band and some endings of the high letters finished with a bevel and "swan neck", while in the second, a wave motif is repeated. This pattern seems to be repeated three times, with a total of six bands, separated from each other by a very fine border of diagonal scratch . (Similar to Amulets 231. Type B-Tubes-two handles). Good Very Fine.

The piece has two holes on one of its sides, surely the remains of two suspension elements. (Amulets 358-N9. Type B-Tubes-with two handles, same example). Almost Very Fine.

TAIFAS OR ALMORAVID PERIOD. "Mihrab" amulet. (Pb. 13.05g/27x22mm). Possibly 11th-12th century. Rectangular lead plate folded into a closed triptych. This Amulet, one of the so-called "mihrab" ones, presents elegant Kufic writing, with the shafts finished with a bevel and slight curvature at the ends and long letters. However, the design of the trilobed arch that occupies the center of the piece, as well as the beginning of the legend that frames it: ... / تحصّنت بذي العزّ. (I strengthen myself in him who has majesty) coincide fully with Amulet No. 20, which makes us think that we may find ourselves facing a piece of the same mold. (Type A-VI Amulets). Good Very Fine.

EMIRAL OR CALIFAL PERIOD. Monetiform amulet-pendant. (Pb. 2.34g/21x18mm). Possibly 9th-10th century. Anv: A fillet runs along the entire edge in which a motif of small radial lines is repeated. In the center, three lines of linear Kufic writing. Rev: Anepigraph. The piece preserves in the upper part, remains of two fastening rings. (Type B-III Amulets). Very Fine.

CALIFAL PERIOD. Monetiform amulet. (Pb. 3.67g/27mm). Possibly 10th century. In both areas, three lines of linear Kufic writing, with the stems of the long letters finished with a bevel. The legends are a succession of the letters "lam" and "alif" with some letters between them, which must form a kind of litany, possibly of a magical nature. The only visible difference between both areas is the external circular band, which on the obverse contains a motif of dots and on the reverse a motif of small oblique scratch . (Amulets 356-N10. Type B-III, same specimen). Very Fine.
