Description

The following description was prepared by William Gross:

In the gross family collection there is a copper engraved amulet by Mordechai of Nitra, published in 1832. This hand done amulet from 33 years later is clearly copied from that earlier example and was, according to the inscription, created in another town in the area of Slovakia. The scribe who made this paper-cut amulet lived in Ohnsdorf and surely had a copy of the earlier engraved amulet in front of him as he worked. This use of earlier models by later artists and craftsman as source material was both common and accepted at the time. Just as was the original printed model, this amulet is also a birth amulet for the protection of both mother and child.
