The Hebrew leaf

This design occupies the right position in row 3 of the nine Kandariri on folio 49a. Gollancz’s contents place the named group at folios 48a–49a and describe the talismans as revealed to King Solomon. A double circle encloses each of the nine designs, whose internal writing and character structures differ. [1]
