These cases are likely to have housed a miniature Qur'an of the same shape. The hanging loops suggest that they were probably carried as an amulet around the belt. An almost identicall box to the one illustrated top left, although in gold, is published in Spirit & Life, Masterpieces of Islamic Art from the Aga Khan Museum Collection, Geneva, 2007, cat.18, p.44.
