Esoteric Obelisk - Italy - late 19th century

Esoteric obelisk made of wood covered in animal parchment*, with magical or apotropaic formulas written on it, using a magical language, reserved for professionals in the sector.

We stated coming from Italy, but the workmanship and the language lead to an Arab country, bought in Italy around 1995.

Be careful, it is not a toy, but a real magical instrument also for apotropaic use, from the personal collection of the White Magician of Turin.

*( Parchment, also called parchment or pecudine paper, is a membrane obtained from untanned animal skin (lamb or calf) and composed of collagen.
