Photograph of: Torah case

The ten-faceted wooden Torah case consists of a body and a coronet. A pair of faceted annulets encircles the upper and lower borders of the body. Seventeen knobs, eight from metal, nine from ivory, for the Torah case wrapper are set between the upper borders, one on each facet. The metal ones are decorated with a floral pattern. Two metal knobs are located at the base of the front facet. The case opens into two halves at the middle of the front panel, while the back facet is separated from the rest of the facets and connected to the case by two pairs of hinges. The inner face is plain wood. Two rectangular partitions are set at the top and bottom of each half. The lower one has a rectangular hollow hand holder, while the upper one is decorated with a geometric openwork pattern. Two insert holes for the staves are at the top of the case. The ten-faceted coronet tops the body. Each facet is composed of an openwork pattern of a foliate scroll, terminating with a lily motif.
