222 - MIDDLE EAST. Rare AMULET, an oval talismanic medallion made of black agate with natural veining, very finely engraved with numerous calligraphic inscriptions in Naskh script, arranged in concentric bands and framed by an epigraphic border. The composition features religious and invocatory formulas beginning with the Bismillah and including references to Allah. However, wear in some areas of the surface makes a complete transcription difficult. Some of the phrases may refer to passages from the Quranic surah Al-Falaq (Surah 113), “The Dawn.” It consists of five verses and, together with Surah An-Nas, forms the collection known as Al-Mu’awwidhatayn. This talisman, with its black color, symbolizes the sacred stone of the Kaaba in Mecca. 4.5 x 6 cm
