About the Item

This rare and meaningful silver amulet, crafted in the Land of Israel in 1936, beautifully reflects the spiritual and cultural heritage of the Jewish people during a pivotal moment in modern history. Circular in shape and meticulously engraved, the amulet is bordered by the names of the twelve months of the Hebrew calendar—symbolizing the cycle of sacred time and divine protection throughout the year. Each month is rendered in fine, careful script, encircling the central motif in a harmonious and continuous design. At the heart of the amulet lies a Star of David (Magen David), the enduring symbol of Jewish identity and unity. At its center is the word "ציון" ("Zion"), a deeply resonant term evoking the spiritual essence of Jerusalem and the yearning for Jewish restoration in the land of Israel. Uniquely, the Hebrew date of the amulet’s creation is distributed across the six points of the star, embedding the artifact with both temporal and spiritual significance. A solid loop at the top allows the amulet to be worn as a pendant, keeping its protective and symbolic power close to the wearer. More than a piece of jewelry, this amulet is a profound expression of faith, time, and nationhood—an early and rare example of Israeli Judaica made during the British Mandate era, just years before the founding of the modern State of Israel. It is a testament to enduring Jewish devotion and artistry rooted in tradition and history. .26ozt

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...
