Ancient Persian Nishapur Jet Stone Amulets and Beads, 8th-10th Century

Item Details

Description

Offered here is a collection of five ancient Nishapur jet stone amulets and beads, their sizes ranging from 9 to 21 mm (approximately 0.35 to 0.83 inches). These pieces date back to the 8th-10th century, illustrating the rich history of personal adornment and the use of natural materials in ancient craftsmanship. Jet, a type of lignite derived from wood under extreme pressure, was often used for its believed protective qualities and its lustrous, deep black appearance. Each piece in this lot, with its own unique shape and evident wear, tells a story of a time when such items were both ornamental and meaningful in the daily lives of their owners. This collection would be a valuable addition to any assortment of ancient artifacts, providing a tangible connection to the early Islamic civilization of Nishapur.
