Rare Engraved Sukah Decoration. Bearing central Hebrew verse : “Blessed Are You When You Come In” (Deut. 28:6). With vignettes illustrating Sukoth activities during the Temple-era including the joyous Water Libation Ceremony.

A rare survivor of a mid-18th century engraving created for affixing on the walls of one’s outdoor Sukah designed by Venetian-born Griselini (1717-1787). Dr. Mendel Metzger in “The Earliest Engraved Italian Megilloth,” comments extensively on Griselini’s excellence as an engraver of Jewish works of art which included the design of title-pages of Hebrew printed books as well as manuscript Esther Scrolls.
