Zulfiqar

A stamped amulet, presumably made in India in the 19th century for a Shia patron. The amulet comprises gnostic squares, Qur'anic verses (including ''ayat al-kursi'' (2:255) running around the frame), divine or holy names, besides a depiction of Zulfiqar at the center. Zulfiqar or Zulfaqar (, ), also spelled ''Zu al-Faqar'', ''Zulfakar'', ''Dhu al-Faqar'', or ''Dhulfaqar)'', is the sword of Ali ibn Abi Talib that was distinguished by having a double blade. It is the main symbol of the Alawite religion.

Middle Eastern weapons are commonly inscribed with a quote mentioning Zulfiqar, and Middle Eastern swords are at times made with a split tip in reference to the weapon. Provided by Wikipedia
