This is the largest one we have.
These rare leather protective amulets
made of leather and vellum inside were worn by men. Each
amulet contains text written on the vellum for its wearer
in Ge'ez, a semetic language that is no longer spoken.
They are written on vellum in black ink with titles and holy names
often in red ink. Sometimes, they also contain beautiful
illustrations. Their use dates back to as early as the
fourteenth century and continued through to the nineteenth century.
