<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4483360, member: 2844&quot;]An amulet case, called Tcherot. Most Tcherots are square or X-shaped, with leather cords or a necklace attached to two corners. </p><p>This one is diamond-shaped. Detailed engraving with niello.</p><p>The beads are Czech glass, one of them is a stray peacock bead, just below the Tcherot. The small metal beads have tiny designs on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]389740[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]389741[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Tcherots are hollow and often hold protective items, Quranic texts, magic letters or numbers, or tiny stones.</p><p><br /></p><p>Text on the back, possibly a signature. The script is probably Tifinagh, an old Berber script which is derived from the Punic script used in ancient Carthage.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]389742[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
