ARAMAIC TERRACOTTA INCANTATION DEVIL TRAP BOWL
Ca. AD 600 - 800 A Judeo-Aramaic terracotta bowl featuring a gently pointed base and uniformly thick walls that widen outward to an unpronounced rim. The interior of the bowl is adorned with a fine black inscription spiralling around a pale background. These types of bowls, known as "incantation bowls" or "demon bowls, ", were traditionally buried face-down under houses to ward off demons and protect the dwelling. They are also referred to as "devil trap bowls" and appear to have been widely utilised for this purpose.Size: 65mm x 170mm; Weight: 340gProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in the early 2000s in France; previously in 1970s European collection.
