Wonders of Africa

The image shows a rectangular wooden board, traditionally called Lawh in North and West Africa.

This type of board has historically been used for learning the Qur'an, but this one is clearly talismanic and intended for esoteric or mystical practices (often linked to Sufism or Islamic folk magic).
