Three Pendants - Amulets
1. Dutch coin from the 18th century. Sawed in the center is the Hebrew letter heh. Hole for hanging at the top.
2. Cast metal plaque. Etched on one side are the Hebrew letters "Shin Daled Yod" (Shadai) and on the other are Kabbalistic letter combinations.
3. Pendant (with suspension loop). On one side is the Hebrew legend "The virtue of Jerusalem will protect you 5680 [1920], the year of salvation" between two branches. Surmounted by a small Star of David. On the other side are decorations and a Star of David enclosing the name of God - the Hebrew letters shin, daled, yod. The amulet may have been minted on the occasion of the appointment of Jewish diplomat Herbert Samuel as the High Commissioner of Palestine, an appointment that aroused much joy and celebrations in the Jewish world.
* Enclosed is another pendant, with a Star of David.
4 pendants in all. Size and condition vary.
Provenance: collection of Bruno Kirschner.
