Description

Magical amulets to protect against scorpions, designed to be worn rolled up in an amulet case around the neck. The magician has repeatedly copied the amulet, drawing a crude scorpion at the bottom of each. Several have evidently been cut off and sold. (Information from CUDL.) See Gideon Bohak, "Some 'mass-produced' Scorpion-amulets from the Cairo Genizah," in A Wandering Galilean (2009), 35–50.
