Khiyara Hirz (Cucumber Amulet) 🥒
Yes — a cucumber! This charming antique silver hirz amulet once held folded prayers or protective texts, carried close to the body to guard the wearer from the evil eye. The tube still opens and closes smoothly, which is especially rare, as most hirz pieces are sealed shut with age.
Set with warm carnelian stones and detailed niello engraving, this piece is a beautiful example of Levantine amulet jewelry, worn across the region for protection and blessing.
There is a small hole on one side of the tube, consistent with age and wear. Pieces like this are seldom found in such clean, well-preserved condition. The chain is also typical of Levantine styles, completing the integrity of the piece.
A rare and special offering from our collection.
