The following description was prepared by William Gross:

A small parchment amulet written by the famous Kabbalistic Rabbi of Israel, Rav Yitzhak Cadoori. Identified by his particular handwriting, the amulet is inscribed on both sides and includes angel writing as well as a text inscription. The name of the person for whom the amulet was made is also written. A primary purpose of the amulet is to stop evil gossip about the holder.  Specific names are mentioned and they are all male.

Yitzchak Kaduri (Hebrew: יצחק כדורי, Arabic: اسحق قدوري‎), also spelled Kadouri, Kadourie, Kedourie; "Yitzhak" (died January 28, 2006),[1] was a renowned Mizrahi Haredi rabbi and kabbalist who devoted his life to Torah study and prayer on behalf of the Jewish people. He taught and practiced the kavanot of the Rashash. His blessings and amulets were also widely sought to cure people of illnesses and infertility. In his life, he published no religious articles or books.[2] At the time of his death, estimates of his age ranged from 103 to 118, and his birth year is still disputed.

His funeral in Jerusalem drew over half a million followers in what was described as the largest funeral in Israel's history.
