DescriptionShi'i stamped amulet.jpg
English: This stamped amulet was probably made for a Shi'i patron in 19th-century India. Executed on a very thin white paper, the amulet comprises a number of magic squares, Qur'anic verses, and divine or holy names all intended to bring good luck or provide protection to its owner. There is also a depiction of Ali's two pointed sword (Zulfikar). In the outer rectangular frame appears ayat al-kursi (the Throne Verse), verse 255 of the 2nd chapter of the Qur'an entitled Surat al-Baqarah (The Cow). It is often found on talismanic objects.
