Terracotta incantation bowl with 17 spiral lines of Babylonian Jewish Aramaic. Rare script
Terracotta incantation bowl with 17 spiral lines of Babylonian Jewish Aramaic. Such bowls were the most widespread class of amulet in the Late Sassanian period in Mesopotamia from the middle of the fifth century till the ascent of Islam shortly after the mid 7th century. They were placed under the thresholds of houses the rationale being that demons and other evil spirits would be trapped inside the bowls while crossing the portal. The client’s name is Mirdukh daughter of Hormizdukh. In addition to the names of angels, and the evil spirit it mentions, ‘Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy’, which is derived from Isaiah. To be published by Dr. James Nathan Ford. Sasanian Persia ca. 5th-7th cent CE. 15.5 cm. diam. May not be exported.
