Hi all. Here is a very tiny bronze ring from
Caesarea engraved with what I think could only be an arrow piercing the "evil eye". I don't know how to date this since, when I lived there,
men from the nearby village
still carried crab claws or other
sharp things, as protection against it! The ring is so small it could only have been worn by an infant, or on a loop. I am guessing early
Islamic period, but anything is possible. Any ideas or references would be appreciated. Thanks, Jimi.
