Love amulet

There are countless love amulets; this one should help man and woman (pictured) to live together better. Letter from Ph. Demonsablon, Boulogne, dated 27 September 1979: The number square is not "magical" in the mathematical sense. This often occurs with these objects with an old tradition. A similar amulet (also 2 human figures, fish) is in the Musée de l'Homme (MH 70-23-6, Jerusalem).
