A Brass Morrocan Amulet, Antique Judaica From Morroco
About the Item
This antique brass amulet from Morocco stands out as a unique and intriguing piece of Judaica, notable for its departure from the conventional forms of sacred text or Kabbalistic symbols typically found in amulets. Instead, the design embraces a more abstract, symbolic approach, reflecting the diverse artistic traditions of Moroccan Jewish communities.
The amulet features two prominent, pierced keyhole-shaped motifs, lending the piece an architectural presence that may allude to gateways or thresholds — potent metaphors in mystical and cultural symbolism. Above these openings, a large rosette takes center stage, radiating outwards and framed by a series of pierced circular forms, which may represent continuity, divine protection, or celestial themes.
A delicately incised foliate pattern graces the lower portion of the amulet, grounding the piece with organic elegance. At the top, a robust loop is integrated into the design, allowing it to be worn as a pendant and carried close to the body.
Though lacking overt inscriptions, the amulet’s powerful visual symbolism and fine workmanship speak to a spiritual intent that is deeply felt yet subtly expressed. This rare piece invites contemplation and serves as a testament to the breadth of Jewish artistic expression in Morocco — where form, function, and meaning are often woven together in unexpected and beautiful ways.
