Vellum amulet, Oriental and vowelized scribal script, handwritten and signed by the kabbalist R. Yehuda Fatiyah. [Jerusalem, 1938 or 1942]. The date and R. Fatiyah's signature appear on the lower margins of the amulet: "In the Holy City of Jerusalem Wednesday the 10th of Shevat Year [---] the writer Yehuda Moshe Yeshua Fatiyah". Given to a nursing mother as a segulah that she should not lack milk, "G-d should protect and save your maidservant who carries this amulet…and from ayin hara and from all illnesses and fear and fright and harm… and bless her with plenty of milk…and with much blessing to nurse the child she bore, in the sake of your Holy Names written in this amulet, Amen…". Rabbi Yehuda Fatiyah (1859-1942) was a leading kabbalist and Babylonian (Iraqi) sage, disciple of the Ben Ish Chai.

Yehuda Fatiyah dwelled in Jerusalem, the 10th of Shevat fell on a Wednesday, only in 1938 and in two 1942 (the possibilities for the date of the amulet)]. Long narrow vellum strip, approx. 4X32 cm.
