About the Item
An Early & Rare German Silver Amulet, made in the 18th Century
This rare and evocative 18th-century silver amulet from Germany is a superb example of devotional craftsmanship, bearing both spiritual significance and historical artistry. Expertly fashioned in repoussé technique, the amulet takes the shape of an architectural entrance or gate—a symbolic threshold between the earthly and the divine.
At its center, the amulet prominently features the stylized Hebrew letter “Hey” (ה), traditionally associated with the Divine Name and often used as a symbol of blessing and protection in Jewish mysticism. The borders are crimped in a rhythmic, decorative fashion, adding dimensional contrast and subtle refinement to the form. A sturdy loop at the top allows the amulet to be suspended from a chain, intended to be worn close to the heart as both ornament and talisman.
Uniquely shaped and deeply rooted in both religious and cultural tradition, this piece stands as a fascinating rarity—a powerful artifact of Jewish life in early modern Germany. Its exceptional preservation and symbolic richness make it a worthy addition to any serious collection and a treasure that would be at home in the most prominent museums of Germany or the Netherlands.

Antique Iranian Silver Amulet – Fine Judaica from Persia
Located in New York, NY
This exceptional antique silver amulet from Iran exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and spiritual depth of Persian Jewish heritage. Shaped in an elegant, lobed diamond form with delicately contoured edges, the amulet is engraved with intricate detail, reflecting both artistic sophistication and religious devotion.
At the center, a stylized cartouche is inscribed with Hebrew text, likely invoking divine names or protective blessings — a hallmark of traditional Jewish amulets. Surrounding the central panel, a beautifully flowing engraved border in the form of a pointed arch or mihrab motif lends the piece a sacred architectural presence, often interpreted as a symbolic gateway to divine protection. Further floral and foliate elements are engraved into the design, subtly blending nature with mysticism.
Additional Hebrew inscriptions encircle the inner medallion and appear along the edges, each rendered in clean, carefully etched lines. The amulet features four suspension loops — one at each cardinal point — suggesting it may have once been sewn onto clothing, hung in a home, or worn as a protective charm close to the body.
Rich in symbolism and cultural meaning, this rare Iranian silver...
