Abstract: As an element of material culture and popular belief, amulets reflect the religious and cultural identity of their producers and/or wearers. However, they may also testify to centuries-old iconographical (and textual) traditions. To remain effective and to meet the prevailing religious concepts of the time, those ancient amuletic iconographies and textual elements needed to be reinterpreted. This article takes a look into continuities between Sasanian and Islamic amulet culture in Iran, focusing on the technique of binding and sealing forces referred to on many Late Antique and Islam

This study is dedicated to the Armenian manuscript and printed Amulet1 of the Armenian Diocese of Baghdad (DAOB). In this collection of early printings, there are two printed Amulets in scroll (Pr. n. 14, second half of the 19th century and Pr. n. 15, A.D. 1716). The third Amulet is a manuscript written in 1736 in the city of Erzrum (Karin) for a certain Ohan (Ms. n. 13). The scanned copies of these amulets are currently available through the website of Hill Museum and Manuscript Library (HMML).2 Since this paper is the first study of these amulets, it presents them in terms of codicology and

The materials used to create Thai amulets are significant and often symbolic, affecting their perceived efficacy. Recently, modern materials like recycled plastic and glass have gained popularity, reflecting societal concerns such as environmental sustainability. These innovative amulets offer a critique of consumerism in Thai amulet culture, forging connections between Buddhism and environmentalism. Recycled plastic amulets created by Qualy Design & Dots Design Studio exemplify how materiality conveys Buddhist concepts. Despite their modern composition, these amulets are still ritually ac

The content of this paper is a study on the amulets on which our basic faiths are based. Amulets have a preconceived notion of superstition. The amulet, however, is a symbolic image shaped to fulfill man's earnest desire. Amulets have been used for self-defense since prehistoric times to escape religious values, fear and anxiety around humans. Not only old people used amulets. Today, amulets are in our lives. It is used for the psychological stability that prevents and blessed many people in many parts of society. This is why we should not overlook the amulets or dismiss them only as superstit

Abstract: In the context of social taboos excluding bleeding women from church spaces, a Byzantine uterine amulet references the gospel story of the healing of the bleeding woman for those needing alternative means for aid. The word “and” begins its Greek inscription. This seemingly insignificant detail signals a resourceful and local application of authoritative tradition, rather than a rote or mistaken reproduction of the gospel text. The amulet’s specific use of “and” contributes in multiple ways to the amulet’s authority through its materiality, recitation, repetition, and embodiment. The

This article examines animal bone amulets, a distinct category of artifacts from the Imenkovo culture (3rd–7th centuries CE) in the Middle Volga region. These amulets, minimally modified beyond perforation, were crafted from the bones of both wild and domesticated animals. Wild animal bone amulets were likely linked to hunting magic rituals, while astragali from domesticated animals (cattle, sheep/goat, and pig) may have served as divination tools or gaming pieces (knucklebones). The species composition of wild animals used for amulets likely reflects specific cultural preferences. During the

Since ancient times, each culture had an object called an “amulet” as a spiritual anchor to protect people from negative energy, evil, and injury. Humans were born in the world, and they need to confront many things for living their lives and survival. These things occurred with fear, pain, suffering, and others. Hence, amulets were created to strengthen mental power for getting ready to fight against what humans were unable to overcome.
