Mandaic lead rolls, sometimes also known as Mandaic amulets or sheets, which are related to Palestinian and Syrian metal amulets, are a specific term for a writing medium containing incantations in the Mandaic script incised onto lead sheets[1] with a pin.[2][3] Some Mandaic incantations are found on gold and silver sheets.[4][5] They are rolled up and then inserted into a metal capsule with loops on it to be worn around the neck on a string or necklace.[6][5]
