mittelalterlicher Islam Bronze „Das Heilige Chiffre“ talismanisches Amulett mit magischen Inschriften und einer 60 cm langen (Ohne mindestpreis)
A fascinating Medieval Islamic bronze amulet, distinguished by an unusual combination of Arabic inscription and a prominent central talismanic symbol.
The face is densely decorated with raised Arabic characters arranged around the perimeter, surrounding a large symmetrical emblem at the centre. The central motif has a distinctive looped, almost heart-shaped form with an extended vertical stem, giving the composition a strongly talismanic and protective character.
Inscribed amulets occupied an important place within the material culture of the medieval Islamic world. Arabic letters, sacred expressions, names and specially arranged signs could be incorporated into personal objects intended to invoke protection, blessing and divine safeguarding.
The precise reading of the inscription is difficult to establish confidently from this single photograph because of the stylized lettering, wear and orientation. For a Catawiki listing, I would therefore describe it as an Arabic inscription without inventing a translation.
The pendant retains an attractive archaeological surface with dark brown, earthy and greenish patination. Its irregular form and deeply raised lettering give it a particularly individual character.

The combination of Arabic calligraphy and mysterious central symbolism makes this an especially intriguing example of medieval Islamic amuletic tradition — an object created not merely as ornament, but as a personal expression of protection and belief.
