This is a metal Taweez locket with Quran verses.

A locket known as a taweez is typically associated with Islam, though one can also find ones connected to Hinduism. On the metal part of the Taweez, verses from the Quran or other prayers and Islamic symbols are typically etched. Typically, a strong black string is used to hang this necklace made of metal or black fabric. While some also wear it around the arm, most do so around the neck.

It is typically worn by the majority of Sufis and a small percentage of Muslims, and its wearer is believed to be protected from any evil or affliction that may be brought on by black magic.
