Antique Iraqi Judaica Silver Amulet with Kabbalistic Inscriptions

About the Item

This rare antique Iraqi amulet, tablet-shaped and crafted from silver, embodies the deep spiritual heritage of Middle Eastern Judaica. Its elegant form is framed with a beautifully engraved undulating border, adding a sense of movement and vitality to the piece. The meticulous border work showcases the skilled hand of the artisan, capturing the flowing, rhythmic patterns characteristic of traditional Iraqi silverwork. At the heart of the amulet, neatly engraved in precise, evenly spaced rows, are numerous Kabbalistic verses – mystical texts believed to offer divine protection, spiritual strength, and a closer connection to the divine. These sacred inscriptions reflect the profound spiritual beliefs of the wearer, transforming the piece into a powerful talisman of faith. At the top, a sturdy, integrated loop allows the amulet to be affixed to a chain, making it ideal for wearing close to the heart as a daily source of spiritual strength and protection. This amulet stands as a testament to the rich cultural and spiritual traditions of Iraqi Jewish communities, offering a glimpse into the mystical world of Kabbalah and the enduring craftsmanship of Middle Eastern silversmiths. .52ozt
