Housing for a Sefer Torah, pretty, made of bone; includes the sefer torah. Jerusalem, beginning of the 20th century. Extremely rare.
Beautiful housing made entirely of carved bone. At the top is a designed crown and handles for finials (rimonim). Flower decorations, Star of David in the style of Betzalel work, engraved inscriptions of the 10 commandments. At the top is the verse “v’Zot HaTorah Asher Sam Moshe Lifnei Bnei Yisrael” and at the bottom “Torah Tzivah Lanu Moshe Morasha Kehillat Yaakov.” Probably done at the beginning of the 20th century. Includes a Sefardi sefer torah with nice handwriting, uniform throughout. Height: 52cm. Generally good condition. Not sold as a kosher scroll.
