Maslas Amulet Case

In Yemen, amulets were believed to offer protection against the evil eye. The practice of wearing an amulet case was shared across ages, genders, and faiths, serving as a universal form 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 carried its own significance, shaped by the belief that its structure held spiritual strength. Among these forms, the cylindrical amulet case, known as Hirz, became one of the most characteristic forms in Yemenite jewelry.

This amulet case was presented in the Umm Subyan exhibition at 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 traditional Yemenite filigree and granulation.
