This is an amulet or gris-gris from Africa contains series of squares
& numbers based on Quranic verses. This manuscript has each magical
square representing each surah in the Quran ( total 114 Surah). It is originated from Niger Africa of Tuareg ethnic. The Tuareg, are a nomadic culture of Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, and Mali. The pouch is 7" by 5" in dimension and weighs 74gm.
I really
dont know what is the purpose of this amulet and what can this amulet
do. But from the Wiki, below is the excerpt :
"A gris-gris is formed in
a small, leather pouch which is usually etched with verses from the Qur'an. Inside the
pouch are engravings specially tailored to the wearer. The pouch is then
sprinkled with blessed water while an incantation is recited.The ceremony
is traditionally conducted over an altar with a burning candle being
present.The ingredients
of the gris-gris number one, three, five, seven, nine or thirteen.Sometimes
stones and other items with occult-meanings are added to the pouch. There will
often be a doll symbolising the wearer also attached to the pouch."
The amulet is sealed however I believed it contains similar amulet as in my other amulet in previous entry below :
