Amulets

Amulets have been worn across Africa, the Middle East and Asia for centuries. They are protective, spiritual, personal objects believed to guard the wearer against harm.

Our collection brings together vintage and antique amulets from many of these traditions: Yemeni hirz, Tuareg tcherot from the Sahara, Amazigh kitab boxes from the Moroccan Anti-Atlas, Mauritanian Trarza crosses, Persian Qajar bazuband plaques, and Tibetan and Nepali gau prayer boxes.
