Miniature Torah Scroll. Magnificent rollers (atzei chaim) and original mantle. 19th century.
Description: Miniature Torah Scroll. Ink on parchment. Parchment width: 130 mm. The kashrut status has not been checked.
Atzei Chaim: Silver, apparently without marks, 14 karat gold, old polished diamonds and emeralds. Length: 285 mm. The handles of the roller are smooth. Their upper section bears the [Hebrew] engraving: "Etz Chaim Hi" and "La'Machazikim Bah." At the center there is a vase with a border of petals from which grows a gorgeous plant made of gold. Each plant has two groups of three large leaves and three large flowers, each set alternately with a diamond or an emerald. The upper section of the plant has two smaller flowers and a larger, different flower, made of two layers of leaves, which are also set with stones.
Mantle: Cloth, silk? Apparently original. 40 mm. wide. 170 mm. long. Inner cloth lining. Nice embroidered flowers and leaves inside and out, matching the gold flowers at the top of the rollers.
Condition: Overall fine condition. The rollers are in very fine condition. Light blemishes to the mantle.
