Nice to have the contents of the amulet along with it. Usually the tube is empty.
Wonderful set with the text roll!!!!

Yes you're right, I've read that before selling it, the owner usually takes out the contents. It can give him bad luck to leave it inside.
How interesting, Johanne. I had never realised that that might be the reasoning. Rather, I suspected that the owner might keep the protective force of the contents and transfer them to the next piece! But actually one could of course do that AND in one hit achieve the purpose which you mention, which sounds like the primary one!
