Rare and Breathtaking Gold Amulet Weighting 3.5 Ounces - King David's Shield!

"King David would carry this psalm that was engraved on his shield in the form of a menorah on a golden plaque, and when he would go out to battle, he would aim this secret [weapon] and would emerge victorious with the enemies falling before him" (The Chid"a,  in MiDvar Kadmot)

Breathtaking golden amulet, engraved by a goldsmith in delicate, stunning work on a large gold plaque, with a grade of at least 21k gold and a weight of 110.8 grams.

Unique amulet engraved on an especially large plaque, it displays a large number of amulets that cover a broad range of supernatural segulahs: protection, finding favor, victory over enemies, protection from ayin hara, wealth, etc. Every inch of the precious and noble metal is utilized to its fullest.

The mysterious mystical properties of the noble metal as a basis for writing amulets are presented in the earliest Kabbalistic sources: in the Talmud, in the Zohar and in books of practical Kabbalah in which the instruction "Take a plate of gold and write on it, etc." often appears. The reason for the special segulah of gold is not explicit, however it is agreed that the spiritual powers of amulets engraved on gold plaques are increased immeasurably.

Detailed list of the amulets on the gold plaque: Psalm 67 is engraved on the front of the plaque: LaMenatzeach BaNeginot in the traditional menorah shape that symbolizes heavenly abundance. Verses of abundance and Kabbalistic sacred Names capable of influencing livelihood are on the four sides of the menorah. On the other side of the gold plaque, the same psalm is engraved, but in the shape of star of David, capable of claiming victory over enemies in war (see below). Underneath, there are two additional amulets, the first made of sacred Names that result from the verse "Yitzchak sowed the land, and in that year he reaped a hundredfold and Hashem blessed him, " and another amulet that results from the verse "Yosef is a charming son, a charming to the eye" that is capable of protection from  ayin hara.

In order not to lose any of the enormous cost of the raw material and the expensive goldsmithing work, the amulet was engraved under the close and strict guidance of a qualified Kabbalist, with immense knowledge of Kabbalistic wisdom. We do not know the name of this Kabbalist, unfortunately, and not even the exact period in which it was written. However, prominent Kabbalists who viewed this amulet expressed their admiration for the great precision in writing the sacred Names and the complex vowelization requiring comprehensive Kabbalistic knowledge, as well as the accurate Kabbalistic diagrams, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the work was done with the strict guidance of by the very hands of a first-rate Kabbalist.

It is appropriate to quote the sacred words of Rabbeinu, the Chid"a, in his book MiDvar Kadmut, about an identical amulet to this one carried by King David; through which he would overcome his enemies, as follows: "David HaMelech of blessed memory was shown this psalm by Divine inspiration, written on a gleaming gold plaque, made in the form of the menorah. He also showed it in this way to Moshe Rabbeinu. King David would carry this psalm that was engraved on his shield in the form of a menorah on a golden plaque, and when he would go out to battle, he would aim this secret [weapon] and would emerge victorious with the enemies falling before him"!

To complete this discussion, we have compiled the spiritual segulah of the LaMenatzeach menorah from Kabbalistic works: "Anyone who recites the psalm 'For the conductor of melodies, a hymn ...' in the form of a menorah, his reward is huge and great"; "All who recite this psalm in the form of a menorah each day at sunrise, or at the end of the silent prayer before moving his legs, avoids evil decrees and nothing bad will happen to him, and he will not be hurt that day"; "Whoever sees this psalm drawn in the shape of a menorah each day will find favor and that all is well in the eyes of G-d and man"; "Anyone who recites this psalm of the menorah seven times before he goes out to travel or to a dangerous place, or to find favor, will go in peace and with success"; "Tzaddikim, when they wanted to know what would happen, would gaze at this menorah"; "It is a segulah for livelihood - His face will shine on us [יאר פניו אתנו], selah, an abbreviation for  פ'ותח א'ת י'דיך"; "This whole psalm is against destroyers, damagers,   ayin hara"; "It is good to recite when entering a new home."
