Torah Cover, dating from pre State of Israel, Palestine, very early 20th century. Hand embroidered.<BR>Measures 26inches long.<BR>Embroidered with the traditional lions, luchot habrit, Crown, Kaf Taf (Keter Torah), inscriptions and flowers. Star of David on top. Most unusual in that it is all brown. The fabric is simple cotton - clearly hinting at tough times, when even a Torah Cover, decorated with such obvious love and effort, was made without the luxury of velvet and silk. <BR>Another unusual feature of this cover is that there is only one strap, attached in the middle of the cover. <BR>There is some ageing to the fabric, in the form of golden spots. <BR>Embroidered date Taf Resh Nun Chet has lost part of the first two letters and there are some other spots where the embroidery is lost. Otherwise, the cover is in good condition with no rips/tears.
