About the Item
This extraordinary snuff box is a true work of art, crafted from silver and adorned with a stunning mother-of-pearl cover. Unlike traditional rectangular or box-shaped designs, this piece takes on the unique and elegant form of a seashell, adding to its rarity and charm.
The mother-of-pearl lid is masterfully hand-carved with an intricate portrayal of the sacred site of Kever Rachel, the tomb of the biblical matriarch Rachel. The delicate engraving captures the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape, featuring rolling fields and distant mountains. A majestic tree with overhanging branches stands prominently, casting its shade over the revered burial site at the center of the composition. The depth and detail of the carving bring the scene to life, reflecting both artistic excellence and spiritual reverence.
The silver base of the snuff box complements the luminous mother-of-pearl, creating a harmonious blend of materials that exude elegance and historical significance. A rare and collectible piece, this snuff box is a perfect addition for collectors of fine Judaica, antique snuff boxes, or those who appreciate sacred artistry in precious materials.
