About the Item
This exceptional late 19th-century German four-piece silver and marble Brit Milah set is a remarkable example of fine craftsmanship and religious tradition, housed in its original fitted green velvet case.
The set includes a double-sided knife, elegantly designed with a smooth marble handle encased in finely crafted silver trim. Around the center band of the knife, the Hebrew inscription "Bedomayich Chayee" ("With Blood You Shall Live") is delicately engraved, emphasizing the profound covenantal significance of the ritual.
Accompanying the knife is a small silver wine vessel, ornately decorated with intricate floral, foliate, and C-scroll motifs, exuding a sense of refinement and reverence. A stunning sacrificial box, adorned with resplendent floral and foliate engravings, further enhances the set’s grandeur. Completing the ensemble is a mogen (guide/shield), an essential component of the Brit Milah ceremony.
The sacrificial box bears a hallmark, 800-Moon-Crown, attesting to its authenticity and origin. A rare and significant piece of Judaica, this Brit Milah set not only serves as a testament to the rich silversmithing tradition of 19th-century Germany but also stands as a powerful symbol of faith and heritage.
