This lengthy Ilan concludes with the many benefits obtained from possessing it and uncommon instructions for its use: “This Holy Tree is perfect for all purposes - for finding favor, for success, for protection against the evil eye, for a woman undergoing difficult child-birth, to ward off demons, as protection against the plague… It should be housed in a pure silver case and hung [on the person].
A similar such Ilan was sold by Kestenbaum & Company, Sale 58, Lot 343.
