About the Item
A Very Rare Pair of Silver Tefillin Covers made by Bezalel in Jerusalem, Circa 1925.
The Acid-etched technique with which these tefillin covers were made accompanied by the classic Bezalel design is truly remarkable.
Probably 1 or 2 of these tefillin covers were ever made by Bezalel in this fashion in the early 20th Century.
Featured on the outside of the four sides of the tefillin covers are beautiful chased motifs of grape clusters on hanging vines, pomegranates growing on trees, palm trees with hanging date clusters, and fig bushes with figs sprouting from their branches.
These four species of fruit are part of the seven species that were blessed and known to be naturally grown in the Israeli region for centuries.
At the top of the tefillin covers prominently acid etched are the words "Rosh" on one and "Yad" on the other in Hebrew, signifying which cover should be placed atop which of the two tefillin wrapped on the arm and forehead each day with the morning prayers.
Signed Bezalel Jerusalem on the sides of the covers.
