Small selection of amulets, principally those related to childbirth and circumcision. The show’s highlight was the 19th-century “Göppingen circumcision amulet”, comprised of a ribbon strung with Coins, coral and stones. Other exhibits included amulets found in the Reckendorf genizah, and contemporary souvenier items from Israel, attesting to the modern market for Jewish protective devices. 16 items. |
