[Possible/Probable] Order of Caliph Hakim [Algeria, Egypt, …]
Commentary from other sources:
1) Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim, orders Jewish and Christian residents to wear bells on their garments and a “golden calf” (made of wood) around the neck when bathing with Muslims. [There are two competing dates for this decree; some place the decree at 1005 while others date the decree at 1008.]
Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah (“the Mad”) issues severe restrictions against the Jews in the Fatimid Empire. All Jews are forced to wear a heavy wooden “golden calf” around their necks to remind them of the sin of worshipping the Golden Calf.
