About the Item
This exquisite five-volume miniature Bible set is a remarkable and rare artifact, handcrafted in pre-1948 Israel. Encased in beautifully hand-carved olivewood bindings, each volume reflects the deep spiritual and artistic traditions of the Holy Land.
Four of the five books feature delicately painted depictions of sacred sites in Israel, preserving the essence of the Land of the Bible through masterful artistry. The fifth volume is particularly striking, portraying Moses carrying the Tablets of the Law, his staff in hand—a powerful representation of divine revelation and the covenant at Mount Sinai.
The natural grain and rich tones of the olivewood enhance the set’s timeless appeal, making it not just a religious text but a true piece of history. The craftsmanship and attention to detail showcase the devotion and skill of the artisans, creating a collection that is both spiritually meaningful and aesthetically captivating.
A rare and treasured find, this pre-1948 miniature Bible set is a prized addition for collectors of Judaica, biblical artifacts, and Holy Land memorabilia, as well as an inspiring keepsake for scholars and those who cherish religious heritage.
