| Notes/Discussion: | This object was created for the aunt of the second author (Kama Sabri Kolta) when she was stung by a scorpion. A healer created the amulet to be used by her as an amulet; she survived and lived to old age (Schulz & Kolta 1998: 89). Written in red and black ink (Schulz & Kolta 1998: p. 89). |
