Torah pomegranates (rimonim) in silver from Yemen

Pair of ornaments adorning the Torah scroll rollers, called rimonim by allusion to pomegranates. Jewish silversmiths from Yemen, renowned for their mastery of filigree and granulation, made fine open-work structures in the shape of a tower or bulb, sometimes garnished with small bells. The delicate work of silver wire is characteristic of Sanaa.
