Velvet Mantle for the Book of Joshua. Start of the 20th Century
Velvet mantle for the Book of Joshua. Velvet, embroidered in gold. Beginning of the 20th century?
60x25 cm. Purple mantle for a parchment scroll of Joshua. Embroidered with thick metal threads, copper threads integrated with discs. With text שרה רחל טעפער ב"ר יונה.
Some synagogues read the haftora from a parchment scroll, as per the custom of the GR"A.
Mantles for books of the prophets are very rare since there weren't very many synagogues that had these scrolls; particularly Joshua, which only contains a few haftarot.
Light blemishes. Fine condition.
