Bidspirit auction | A silver Torah shield Tess

A silver Torah shield Tess is a very important Torah scroll made of silver in the shape of a magnificent Torah ark, which derives its shape from Polish synagogues from the 18th century. Decorated by handmade embossed and cut. The doors of the ark are opened and inside the ark there is an inscription: ”And when the ark was traveling, Moses said, Arise, God, and let your enemies be scattered, and those who hate you will flee from before you.” On either side of it are two pairs of turned pillars with Moshe and Aaron above them. The entire cut board is decorated with laces and a host of animal bastiaries: unicorns, lions, birds of paradise, peacocks, eagles and winged griffons. Dimensions: 16 x 23 cm, missing holiday plates and bells.
