Medieval Talismans: Stars, Seals and Inscriptions
Five-pointed and six-pointed stars appear beside triangular, circular and rectangular inscribed forms. A ring supplies a more immediately wearable object among the diagrammatic charms. The plate is captioned Medieval Talismans and signed by William Thomas Pavitt. Its numbering connects the varied designs with the authors’ account of protective objects and their historical associations.
