Sacred and Ritual Objects  Adonai Tzvaot Imanu.., Middle East, circa 1900

The following description was prepared by William Gross:

This is a very large amulet and unusual as well in that it is for a male, most amulets being for women.  As in most of these cases the name of the male is given as the son of the mother, rather than the father. The mother's name, camilla, indicates that this was created in a Sephardic culture. Amuletic diagrams are depicted, as well as the magen david and the temple menorah with the 67th psalm.  The crease marks are evident, as this amulet was folded and probably carried.

Made For:                        Yitzhak me-Camilla
