In Yemen, amulets were believed to offer protection and defense against the evil eye. The practice of wearing an amulet case was shared across ages, genders, and faiths — a universal symbol of spiritual safeguarding.
Sacred texts, verses, or blessings were carefully inscribed on paper or leather and placed within the case, protecting the words from impurity and preserving their power. The outer form of each amulet case was equally meaningful, shaped according to the belief that its design held its own spiritual strength. Among these forms, the cylindrical amulet — known as Hirz — became the most characteristic of Yemenite jewelry.
This amulet case was presented in the Umm Subyan exhibition at the Zemack Gallery and The Art House in Tel Aviv, where it received recognition from curators, collectors, and journalists for its craftsmanship and cultural depth.
Handcrafted in sterling silver (925) and pure silver (999).
