TAIFAS PERIOD OR LATER. Monetiform amulet. (Pb. 5.31g/25mm). Possibly 11th-13th century. The piece is limited in both areas by a square border, of which the lower part is not visible. It is formed by a smooth interior fillet in which a line of points follow one another. On the outside, a band develops in which slightly inclined lines follow one another. Anv: Divided into six lines, Quranic text in Kufic with some gaps: بسم ألله الرحمن ا / لرحيم ـ ـ ـ ـ و من / الحمد ـ ـ ـ. (In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful... and who praises her...). Rev: Divided into five lines, Quranic text in Kufic with some gaps: ا الذّي /ــ ـ ـ ـ (Praise be to him who ....propose, and good is your thing. There is no other god than the one who....). This curious piece undoubtedly corresponds to a rectangular amulet struck in a round coin. The result is that the bottom part of the border has been lost, possibly with a line on each side, and the borders on the other three sides are cut. (Amulets 382-N16. Type B-III, same specimen). Very Fine.
