The teth symbol in the center is from the Temple era, and refers to the powerful number 9. The spiritual blue coloration, contrasting with the anti-demonic red, combine in this amulet to resist the Evil Eye and bolster one's relationship with
G-d.

The combination of its seven rings, which define its sacred space, and the red pattern, which is an anti-demonic color, work together to make this amulet a powerful force against the Evil Eye.

The characters read Ain Soph - literally, the boundless. This amulet works to provide spiritual fulfillment.

The powerful number 9, the number of completion, is represented by the teth in the center of the design. The seven rings and the green pattern make this an amulet of general wellness.

The word vatishka, meaning and the fire dwindled, make this amulet powerful against fevers.

Shibriri is a protector against the Evil Eye.
