Collection of Six (6) Kabbalistic Amulets for Protection, Healing, and Safeguarding - A collection of six (6) Kabbalistic amulets for protection, healing, and safeguarding. Mixed media: ink on paper (original handwritten and printed texts combined), embroidered fabric amulet, and seal drawings. Israel / Eastern countries, 20th century. These amulets were intended for protection against the evil eye, guarding the home, healing, and success, and present a variety of writing styles and formats — long handwritten amulet scrolls: * Long, narrow protective scroll (”lulav” format): written entirely in skilled, dense handwriting in ink on paper. The scroll includes detailed lists of angelic names, holy letter combinations, and lengthy protective formulas. Contained within a leather (or leather-like) case in a deep red-burgundy hue, which serves as the protective housing for the scroll when rolled and folded inside it. * Folded secret scroll: bearing free-flowing handwriting, apparently in the Eastern communities' rite, which served for personal carrying inside clothing or in a tiny amulet box. * Tree amulets, tables, and protective seals: - Printed and combined menorah amulet: a protective sheet incorporating a printed ”Blessing of the Home” alongside distinctly Kabbalistic graphic illustrations, including magic squares (letter and number tables) and mystical signs known as ”angelic script” (Seals of Solomon). - Bold ink formula sheet: a paper amulet combining traditional protective verses with bold hand-drawn designs in black ink, for warding off harm and the evil eye. * Unique fabric and binding amulet: a rare item consisting of a carefully folded piece of blue (tekhelet) fabric, upon which holy Names and acronyms were inscribed by hand. Amulets of this type were traditionally sewn into undergarments or tied onto the body of a child or adult for constant protection. * Small protective seal: a small folded piece of paper displaying a stylized ink stamp in the form of a Kabbalistic Star of David with protective letters. Contained in an off-white fabric case. In good condition, with reasonable wear and signs of age.
