They come in a variety of shapes and styles and very often held talismanic and geomantic properties. Indeed, many bazubands would come in the form of amulet cases (likely of octagonal shape), containing either miniature Qur'ans or prayer scrolls and manuscripts. Others would instead be set with hardstones like rock crystals, agates and carnelians and engraved in a variety of scripts with auspicious passages from the Qur'an, such as the present example, or for Shi'a devotees with prayers like the beloved Nad-e Ali or the names of the Twelve Imams. 3.4cm x 7cm Qty: 1
