RIP Shashi Kapoor.

This Antique Silver Bazuband (Upper Arm) Koranic Amulet Case from Afghanistan is absolutely beautiful AND it opens up to hold your treasures. The Ta'wiz, Tawiz (Urdu), Muska (Turkish) or Taʿwīdh (Arabic) is an amulet or locket usually containing verses from the Quran or other Islamic prayers and symbols. The Tawiz is worn by throughout the Middle East to protect from evil and misfortune. As such it is intended to be an amulet. The word Ta'wiz is also used to refer to other types of amulets. Antique and vintage Tribal Heirlooms were often made of melted colonial high silver content coins and rarely marked or hallmarked; we believe this piece to be 80% or higher hammered and stamped silver. #bazuband #koranicamuletcase #amuletcase #amulet #antiquebazuband #antiquejewelry #antiqueamulet #afghanijewelry #afghanijewellery #afghanjewellery #highqualitysilver #protectiveamulets #protectionjewelry #rarejewelry #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHK9B5h3ij/?utm_medium=tumblr

This Antique Enamel Bazuband is truly spectacular in all of its hand-crafted beauty. It also has a little compartment that opens for storing amulets, prayers or anything you desire and is traditionally worn around the upper arm. #bazuband #antiquebazuband #vintagebazuband #antiquejewelry #vintagejewelry #secretcompartment #hiddencompartment #armband #armjewelry #fashion #style #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHV99LBBWq1/?igshid=18h60jtn6wob8

This Antique Silver Enameled Bazuband (upper arm) Koranic Amulet Case that Ashley is modeling is so unique and so so beautiful! It features hand-hammered silver and gorgeous intricately worked enamel designs. It comes to us from Multan, Pakistan, a city renowned for its fine handicrafts, especially pottery and exquisite enamel work — and we can see why! #bazuband #koranicamuletcase #amuletcase #armcandy #armjewelry #multan #enameljewelry #antiqueenamel #antiquejewelry #handhammeredsilver #fashion #style #styleinspo #styleinspiration #fashionphotography #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dOG_BBLX3/?igshid=1tr7oy30seggr
