About the Item
A Rare Leather and Silver Bookbinding by Bezalel made for a Bible, in Jerusalem Israel Circa 1913.
Besides the unique craftmanship that went into making this attractive leather binding with a silver plate embedded into its front cover, we also notice the durability that the binding has kept over the 100-plus years that this binding and bible have been used.
Binding is made of blue-dyed leather with the word bible and two stiff bands painted in gold along the spine.
silver plate embedded in the cover is embellished with four silver filigree and beaded roundels with an emerald-colored stone at their center.
Depicted on the silver cartouche is a series of foliate and palm tree motifs flanked by two Solomonic columns and a decorative archway.
At the center, atop an altar is a decalogue with the letters א-י of the Hebrew alphabet crown with broadened angel wings.
The words "Bezalel Jerusalem" are etched in Hebrew at the top of the altar with the words "Torah Nevi'im Ketuvim" written in Hebrew below.
