Description

Illustrative devices like "angel writing." Made of four pieces of paper stitched together. Mentions three angels who protect mother and child from Lilith. From file: "It contains almost all the kinds of illustrative devices that are found in scroll amulets, from angel writing and the use of multiple names to tables of words and abbreviations and various forms of the magen david. It is made of four pieces of paper that have been sewn together, a most unusual arrangement for scroll amulets and rarely seen. Once again, the mention of the three angels who protect mother and child from Lilith places this in the category of a birth amulet that was carried in a silver, cloth, or leather container on the person of the pregnant mother for protection."
