Catalogue of Islamic Seals and Talismans
Yellowish chalcedony; bezel, unbevelled; oval. Two lines of cursive script, separated by the elongated loop of the isolated tā’ of the word al-da`wāt placed between the two lines.
(1) Oh Thou who answers prayers! [ يا مجيب الدعوات sic for] يا الدعوات مجيب
(2) The one who commits himself to God المتوكل على الله
There are several groups of dots spread over the ground. Two lines follow the shape of the gem.
