PNL1) PAKISTAN, fake amulet necklace, "silvered" brass, modern, on 17' beaded necklace, from NWFP, new, $9.50
    The tradition is to have a protective amulet, in this context a text from the Qur'an, around your neck at all times.  The amulet case of this one is sealed with solder, leading to the thought that it is actually empty.  The theory might be that the wearer is illiterate anyway so what difference does it make?  "Fake amulet" jewelry is common in the amulet zone (everywhere?).  I have seen "amulet cases" that are solid - no inside to put something in.
