About the Item

An Unusual Silver Filigree Mezuzah Case made in Israel, Circa 1950. Very unusual Mezuzah case made almost entirely of filigree in the shape of a tall Torah scroll with a crown applied to the top. Mezuzah cases are usually made in a solid shape to protect the inner scroll within, this one is slightly transparent as you are able to see the entire scroll inside through the filigree designs. Filigree work on this Mezuzah case is stunning in a foliate-scrolled manner with smaller filigree scrolling within almost as if the Torah scrolls were covered in a foliage canopy. A pierced letter "Shin" is applied to the front of the mezuzah case as is commonly seen on Mezuzah cases. The Spanish-looking filigree crown at the top has a similar design in the three arches with applied circular filigree encasing black stones in between them and the lower band is mounted with silver beads encircled by filigree borders on eye-formed plaques. A hanging ring is applied to the monde of the crown and a loop is pierced into the flat triangular base below for hanging purposes. Marked and signed "RC" on the lower back of the mezuzah case
