"Plate 11.1 - Paper amulet and lead case, Amulet 7.2 x 5.5 cm; lead case 2.7 x 1.3 cm. Attributed to Fatimid Egypt, eleventh century. Aga Khan Museum, Toronto (AKM 508)."
Remarks
The paper amulet measures 7.2 x 5.5 cm and was found inside a lead case (2.7 x 1.3 cm) (p. 16). The impressive state of preservation of this and similar paper amulets implies they were rarely removed from their protective lead cases (p. 10).
