An Iranian Silver Amulet, Antique Judaica from Iran
About the Item
This striking antique silver amulet from Iran is a beautiful example of Persian Jewish craftsmanship. Its scalloped, shield-like form is meticulously hand-etched with dense Hebrew inscriptions arranged in horizontal bands, each line separated by delicate hand-punched dot patterns. The amulet’s text, deeply carved into the silver, likely contains protective verses or sacred names, reflecting its role as a spiritual safeguard.
The outer edge is framed with intricate, zigzag and dot motifs, adding a sense of movement and vibrancy to the piece, while the radiating form echoes traditional Persian design influences. The rich texture and carefully detailed lettering showcase the artisanal skill of its creator, capturing both the aesthetic and spiritual essence of Persian Judaica.
Such pieces, often worn as pendants or carried as personal talismans, were cherished for their perceived protective powers and their connection to faith and tradition. This rare artifact stands as a testament to the enduring cultural and spiritual heritage of the Jewish communities of Iran.

The History about Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque:
The Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, situated in Esfahan, Iran, stands as a remarkable testament to Iranian architecture under the Safavid Empire. Its construction commenced in 1603 and concluded in 1619, orchestrated by the esteemed architect Mohammadreza Isfahani during the reign of Shah Abbas I. Unlike the Shah Mosque intended for public use, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque was designated for the royal court, evident in its lack of minarets and smaller scale.
