Handsome cover for matzot—Italy, 19th century.
Quality clothwork on red velvet fabric. The upper portion has fabric in gold coloring of a crown, underneath which is the blessing on matzah. Around are figures of flowers and leaves sewn with colorful string and interspersed with beads. Golden metal bundles at the fringes. The cover is divided into sections as is customary, and at the end are tabs with the names of the matzot, Kohen, Levi, and Yisrael. The uniqueness of the cover before us is in the additional cell, a fourth, with a monogrammed cloth, most likely the name of the owners. | Characteristic wine stains. Diameter: Around 48cm. Generally good condition.
