SILVER MOUNTED TORAH CASE. North Africa or Palestine, 1919.

The passage (.”..And this is the Torah..”) is inscribed on the interior face of the Tik, thus when it is openly displayed during the synagogue services, the verse could be read directly by the Congregation. For a comparable example found in the Jewish Museum, London, see Barnett, No. 17, Pl. LIII, p. 6 SEE ILLUSTRATION
