EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite amulet from the Jewish Museum Berlin, Germany, showcasing the deep-rooted belief in divine protection within the Jewish faith during the Middle Ages. Amulets, often consisting of scrolls written in Hebrew, were a common practice among Jews during this period. The texts were combined with geometric or magical figures, believed to offer protection from harm and misfortune. The amulet in this image features a star of David at its center, a symbol of faith and conviction in the divine. The star is surrounded by a circle, symbolizing the circumference of protection, and is adorned with intricate geometric figures. The belief in the power of these amulets was deeply rooted in the Judean culture, with many wearing them as pendants or hanging them on their walls for protection. The use of mathematics and geometry in the design of these amulets was not merely for aesthetic purposes but was believed to imbue them with additional protective powers. The texts inscribed on the amulets were often written in Hebrew, the sacred language of the Jewish people, further enhancing their spiritual significance. This amulet is a testament to the rich history and cultural practices of the Jewish community during the Middle Ages, a time marked by both faith and superstition. The intricate design and the deep-rooted belief in divine protection are a reminder of the enduring strength and resilience of the Jewish people throughout history.
