This is a clay incantation bowl inscribed with magical text. It was made in Iraq between the 6th–8th century AD and was used in ceremonies intended to ward off evil spirits 🔮
Spells, incantations and curses were often written on vessels like this in a variety of scripts – the inscription on this bowl is in Aramaic. The stick-like figure in the centre may represent an evil spirit.
Some magic bowls have been found placed upside-down, suggesting they may have been used as traps for demons http://ow.ly/ZxZu30oXaed
