About the Item

A pair of Silver Torah Finials from Yemen, dating back to around 1900, represents a fascinating blend of artistic tradition and cultural history. In Yemeni Jewish communities, Torah finials are meticulously crafted silver ornaments used to adorn the wooden rollers of the Torah scrolls. These finials are not just decorative; they symbolize reverence for the sacred text and are imbued with intricate designs that reflect both local artistic styles and Jewish religious motifs. Resting on cylindrical lower placements, the Finials have a slender multi-baluster form rising in a spire form, chased with beading and scalework designs and with Hebrew inscriptions at the top. The summits inscribed: “The teaching of the Lord is perfect, renewing life; the decrees of the Lord are enduring, making the simple wise; the precepts of the Lord are just, rejoicing the heart; the instruction of the Lord is lucid, making the eyes light up. The fear of the LORD is pure, abiding forever; the judgments of the Lord are true, righteous altogether, more desirable than gold, than much fine gold; sweeter than honey, than drippings of the comb” (Ps. 19:8-11). Provenance: the Halpern Judaica Collection
