A North African Silver Amulet, Antique Judaica from North Africa

About the Item

This exquisite antique silver amulet from North Africa is a fine example of regional Judaica, rich in spiritual significance and traditional craftsmanship. Small and tablet-shaped, the amulet carries with it the quiet power of protective intention, reflecting the deep-rooted Kabbalistic traditions that flourished among North African Jewish communities. The front of the amulet features prominently embossed Kabbalistic expressions—sacred words or divine names believed to invoke spiritual protection and blessing. These mystical inscriptions are arranged with care and clarity, their presence intended to shield the wearer from harm and bring divine favor. A sturdy loop is integrated at the top, allowing the amulet to be suspended from a chain and worn close to the heart, as was customary. Though modest in size, the amulet holds immense symbolic power, combining devotional intent with regional artistry. .13ozt
