Sacred and Ritual Objects Amulet, Jerusalem, circa 1950
© Gross Family Collection, Photographer: Unknown,
The following description was prepared by William Gross:
An unusual amulet, both for its content and for its illustrations. The amulet was written for a couple who were apparently having marital problems. In addition to all the formulas and "names", the couple is portrayed in figures, each with the name of the person and one word: Love, in the case of the male, and Peace on the figure of the woman. The place, Jerusalem, is explicitly written at the end of the text. There are two such amulets by Yitzhak Cadoor, in the Gross Family Collection, although not in scroll form.
Made For: Simchah bat Mazal
Made For: Ephraim ben Esther
