An amulet or talisman or fetish is an object that is believed to provide protection against danger, illness, and misfortune. A distinction that is sometimes made is that an amulet fends off negative forces and that a talisman uses positive forces and can even work from a distance. Commonly used as an amulet are: (precious) stones, coins, drawings, rings, religious objects (Eye of Horus, Christian cross, Buddha statue), plants (for example the four-leaf clover, see also defenses) and (parts of) animals. Although the concept indicates the same type of object, the emphasis in an amulet is more on protection and protection against danger. A talisman does the same but is also derived from a lucky charm in the eyes of the users. The Cyranides is an anonymous encyclopedia about amulets from the 1st century BC. Pliny the Elder describes amulets used for curing a disease, the relief of pain or protection against black magic in book 30 of its Naturalis historia. In the 8th century Indiculus superstitionum and paganiarum, the use of amulets was rejected. The choice of rock crystal as a drinking glass or as part of medieval jewelry can be attributed to the belief that these crystals would break or discolour if they came into contact with poison. The chain thus became an amulet that protected the king.
