Filigree silver Torah finials from Morocco

רימונים מכסף פיליגרן ממרוקו

Description

Rimonim ("pomegranates") crown the staves of the Torah scroll. In Morocco they often take the form of tiered silver-filigree towers hung with small bells that ring as the Torah is carried. The openwork filigree is typical of Judeo-Moroccan silversmithing.
