Ancient Nishapur Lapis Lazuli Carved Amulet, 9th-12th Century

Item Details

Description

From the historical city of Nishapur in Iran, this lapis lazuli amulet dates back to the 9th through the 12th century. The dimensions are a notable 4.5x3.5x0.8 cm, or 1.77x1.38x0.31 inches, revealing a sizable piece of the semi-precious stone. Lapis lazuli, known for its deep celestial blue, has been coveted since antiquity for its intense color and is often associated with royalty and deities. This amulet, skillfully carved from a single piece of lapis lazuli, exemplifies the high level of craftsmanship of the time. It would have likely served as a protective talisman or a status symbol for its wearer. Today, it represents a fusion of aesthetic beauty and historical significance, making it a prized item for collectors and historians alike.
