Quitabat was mainly used to ornament the building during the earlier times. It was also done on jewelleries like rings, pendants, and armlets. Since it was believed that the art had the power to repel bad vibes therefore it was also engraved on weapons like swords, daggers, handles etc. Artists also made monograms and seals using Quitabat. To save people (kings, warriors and kids) from bad luck, verses were written on small papers and packed in worn ornament like pendent. These were called as Taveez
