Quoting alameda:

In Turkey some people wear little amulets (I think the Turkish word for it is a muska. They can be worn around the neck, or pinned onto garments, or hung on the wall. The mostly have verses from the Quran inside. Because it is seen as a sin to get the verses soiled, they are wrapped so as to keep the witten words from getting dirty.

It probably is something like this you have.


they usually make it in a shape of triangle.
in black because it gets quickly dirty.
stupid supersticious things people believe in.

People often call it superstition when they don't understand the technology. Those who "cured" illnesses were called witches when they used techniques the then masses didn't understand.
