Tabeez/Tabiz/Taweez/Amulet/Kawach

Description

A Taweez/Tabeez/Amulet is a necklace that is often associated with Islam, although it is also possible to locate ones that are associated with Hinduism. The metal portion of the Taweez, which is the most visible element of the instrument, is usually inscribed with a text from the Quran or other prayers and Islamic symbols. This pendant is hung on a thick black thread and is usually made of metal or black cloth. Many people wear it around their necks, while some choose to wear it around their arms.
