1942.13.0164 :: lampa, amulett

Object description

Hänglampa med amulett mot "det onda ögat" i form av en hand. Denna talisman anbringas eller avbildas på dörrar, fönster, kistor, på riddjurens bakdelar etc. Den bärs även som smycke (av silver) både av stads- och lantbefolkningen i hela Nordafrika. Kallas khamsa, det arabiska räkneordet fem (underförstått "fingrar"). Benämns ofta "Fatimas hand", efter Mohammeds dotter Fatima. På sina håll (som i Tunisien) används dock ej denna benämning.

Av mässing. Skål med fyra upptill förenade upphängningskedjor och amulett som en platt kläpp hängande under. I amuletten en ring. (Enligt generalkatalogen).

2010-01-13 återfanns endast den amulettformade kläppen./MD

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
