AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We present to you a high-purity silver protective *hamayil* (amulet case) from the early 20th-century Ottoman era in Türkiye. It is in excellent condition for display.
This piece originates from a high-end collection.
We offer for your appreciation one of the most elegant and spiritually profound collectible examples of Ottoman spiritual culture and traditional silver craftsmanship. Dating back to the early 1900s (the very beginning of the 20th century), this high-purity silver *hamayil* is an exceptional artifact, distinguished by its superior workmanship, original chain, and authentic period character.
In Islamic belief and tradition, *hamayils* are sacred, protective objects—often containing verses, divine names, or specific prayers (*muska*)—believed to shield the wearer from evil, the evil eye, accidents, and—particularly during the Ottoman era—dangers such as injury or death faced by soldiers on the battlefield. Showcasing the refinement of artisans of the era through its finely wrought motifs and masterful silver repoussé and filigree details, this piece serves as both a historical ethnographic object and a unique collector's item imbued with a profound spiritual atmosphere.
