Twee magische gebedsrollen. Het gaat om rollen die een kwaad werende of magische betekenis hadden en opgerold (in een lederen of metalen houder) op de borst / aan de hals werden meegedragen ofwel in huis (niet opgerold) aan de muur werden gehangen. De taal Gé’éz is nu de liturgische taal van de Ethiopische orthodoxe kerk. De teksten op dergelijke rollen kunnen gebeden bevatten met een beschermende functie, bv. tegen het boze oog of om demonen te bezweren.
