A finely engraved Islamic talismanic plaque carved from pale agate or chalcedony, decorated with elegant Arabic Qur'anic calligraphy enhanced by contrasting black-filled engraving. Likely produced in Iran or the wider Persianate world during the 18th or 19th century, the plaque exemplifies the rich tradition of carved hardstone devotional objects created for both spiritual protection and personal contemplation. The square composition is carefully arranged with a central calligraphic panel enclosed by successive bands of inscription and delicately engraved floral ornament, reflecting the balance and refinement characteristic of Persian Islamic design. Portions of the inscription appear to include verses from Ayat al-Kursi (The Throne Verse), one of the most revered passages of the Qur'an and a text long associated with divine protection, blessing, and safeguarding against harm. Hardstone talismans of this type were treasured as personal devotional objects, valued for both their religious significance and the exceptional skill required to engrave intricate Qur'anic texts into agate and chalcedony. Combining spiritual symbolism with masterful lapidary craftsmanship, this plaque is an outstanding example of Islamic engraved...
