About the Item
A Silver Dedicated North African Torah pointer made in Morocco Circa 1920.
This Torah pointer was dedicated by a patron to their synagogue in Morocco to commemorate the passing of two brothers who were beloved family members.
Torah pointer has a thin quadrangular handle molded into quatrefoil shapes at its edges and spreads outwards to its second part where the dedication is engraved.
Dedication has an undulating scrolled border and is shaped like a pointed knife.
In this second half the dedication reads "This (Torah Pointer) is made holy for the resting (of the soul) for the brothers Shlomo Tzeror and his brother Chai Tzeror may their souls be bound in the bundle of life" written in Hebrew.
Apparently Unmarked.

An exceptional, fine and impressive antique Russian silver Torah pointer/yad; an addition to our Judaica silverware collection
This exceptional antique 19th century Russian silver Torah pointer/yad has a knopped tapering cylindrical form.
The bulbous knops are each plain and unembellished.
The plain tapering handpiece is embellished with applied interlacing designs to the upper portion.
The shaft of this silver Torah pointer has a stranded twist design, to an undulating circular collar style knop.
This lower knop terminates with an impressive hand, with its index finger pointed.
The hallmarks struck to the handpiece of this exceptional silver Torah pointer include:
Silver quality/purity mark: 84 (84 zolotniks*)
City Mark: Moscow, Russia
Maker's mark: ФВ (untraced)
Such original Russian examples are becoming increasingly difficult to locate; due to their formation they do not stand the test of time.
* 84 zolotniki is equivalent to 875/1000 or .875 standard silver
NOTE: The Hebrew word yad (יד) translates to "hand" and is used while reading the Torah. The yad ensures that an impure hand does not touch the fragile parchment; issues also arise when ink does not absorb to the velum and there can be damage to the wording.
