| Résumé: | The present paper writes a biography of the silver amulets discovered at the mortuary site of Ketef Hinnom in Jerusalem. While past studies have focused upon the content of the inscriptions on the amulets, the present essay focuses on their materiality as silver, their design as miniature scrolls, and their relationship to somatic action. I emphasize the ways that the body's interaction with the objects presenced the divine for their wearers. By writing a biography of the amulets I also highlight their agency as objects that found their enduring meaning as part of a collection of jewelry in the tomb. |
