A small iron nail. Iron nails were often important in magic, healing, and enchantment. They were hammered into trees to cure diseases. But they were also hammered into houses for other purposes, for example to bewitch or curse someone.
A small lead roll. Ribbon rolled from lead. So-called curse tablets or defixion for cursing, enchantment. Escape boards are usually inscribed, thin pieces of lead, which should serve the purpose of influencing people or other living beings with magical-ritual means or with the help of a deity in their actions, to prevent their activities and to "bind" them or them to harm mentally or physically for a certain period of time, less often even to kill them. The request was either entrusted to deities of the underworld, who were to carry out the curse, or was already considered to have been implemented through the ritual treatment of the table. For this purpose, the labeled lamellas were often additionally rolled up, folded or pierced with nails. Violations of the medium should be transferred to the cursed person in the sense of a magic analogy.
