About the Item
A Dedicated North African Silver Torah Pointer, made in Morocco Circa 1920.
This Torah pointer was dedicated by a family in Morocco to commemorate and uplift the soul of a young woman: a virgin who passed in her prime.
Many objects were dedicated to the family's religious synagogues to be used for holy purposes and in this way the soul of the dedicatee was lifted by the use of the dedicated item.
Torah Pointer's handle is made in a thin quadrangular fashion with multiple shapes molded into its sides.
The second half of the handle is designed with beautiful flowing reeds bordered by sharp-scrolled designs.
On the reverse of this half a dedication is engraved which reads " For the (purpose of ) uplifting the soul of the virgin Daya Barami may her soul shall be bound in the bundle of life" written in Hebrew.
Apparently Unmarked.

1830s Russian Silver Torah Pointer/Yad
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
An exceptional, fine and impressive antique Russian silver Torah pointer/yad; an addition to our Judaica silverware collection
This exceptional antique 19th century Russian silver Torah pointer/yad has a knopped tapering cylindrical form.
The bulbous knops are each plain and unembellished.
The plain tapering handpiece is embellished with applied interlacing designs to the upper portion.
The shaft of this silver Torah pointer has a stranded twist design, to an undulating circular collar style knop.
This lower knop terminates with an impressive hand, with its index finger pointed.
The hallmarks struck to the handpiece of this exceptional silver Torah pointer include:
Silver quality/purity mark: 84 (84 zolotniks*)
City Mark: Moscow, Russia
Maker's mark: ФВ (untraced)
Such original Russian examples are becoming increasingly difficult to locate; due to their formation they do not stand the test of time.
* 84 zolotniki is equivalent to 875/1000 or .875 standard silver
NOTE: The Hebrew word yad (יד) translates to "hand" and is used while reading the Torah. The yad ensures that an impure hand does not touch the fragile parchment; issues also arise when ink does not absorb to the velum and there can be damage to the wording.
