A pair of Iraqi silver Torah Finials
From the decorative motifs, these Torah finials hail from Iraq or Morocco. Atop the spherical upper sections, there are turret-forms from which chains are suspended that originally held bells, part of which are missing. There is repousse work which depicts flowers and palm fronds on the body of the finials. Each finial has a lengthy Hebrew dedication. The chasing at the very top of the turrets are highly detailed.
23.3cm, 366.8 grams.
