Lauh kutukan

Tablet kutukan (bahasa Latin: tabella defixionis, defixio; bahasa Yunani: κατάδεσμος katadesmos) adalah sebuah tablet kecil dengan kutukan yang tertulis di atasnya. Tablet ini digunakan untuk meminta dewa-dewi, penunggu suatu tempat, atau roh orang mati untuk melakukan sesuatu terhadap seseorang atau suatu objek, atau bahkan menjatuhkan kutukan kepada seseorang.

Tablet kutukan umumnya terbuat dari timbal dan merupakan helaian yang sangat tipis. Tablet ini seringkali digulung, dilipat, atau dipaku. Tablet ini kemudian dapat dimasukkan ke dalam makam, dilempar ke sumur atau kolam, disembunyikan di ruang bawah tanah, atau dipaku di tembok kuil. Tablet-tablet ini juga kadang berisi mantra-mantra cinta, dan jika dipakai untuk tujuan ini tablet ini biasanya ditempatkan di rumah orang yang menjadi sasaran.
