Bulgarian Amulet Prints - The First Phase of an Exciting New Project

These peculiar amulets are inspired from Manuscript #646 from the Bulgarian National Library “St. st. Cyril and Methodius”. It was written in 1787 for a gentleman named Niketa and is a compilation of various text and stamp amulets for good fortune and protection against various evils. This series pays homage to this exotic written treasure and offers some artistic additions to the otherwise short compilation. These amulets are meant to be carried with the owner or put in special places for continued protection. People from the past had a strong fascination with such object and they came in many forms, either in loose leaf formats such as this one, sometimes scrolls or book compilations, as is the original source.
