Middle Eastern Silver Prayer Box Amulet

This is a beautiful example of a traditional Middle Eastern silver prayer box amulet. These pieces are deeply rooted in the silversmithing traditions of regions like Yemen, Oman, and the Bedouin tribes of the Sinai and Levant.

The amulet features a rectangular, pillow-shaped box construction. Traditionally, these containers were designed to hold protective scrolls and verses from the Quran. The central red cabochon is flanked by heavy silver bells.

A stunning piece of wearable history from the Bedouin or Yemeni tradition.
