A Silver North African Torah Pointer, Morocco Circa 1920
About the Item
An Elegant Dedicated Silver North African Torah Pointer, made in Morocco Circa 1920.
While this Torah Pointer is uniquely designed and beautifully engraved and shaped it also has a very interesting Dedication on its upper reverse portion. Many people dedicated Religious objects for personal blessing and in commemoration of passed loved one(s). The dedication written in Hebrew is for an entire family commemorating both; the loved ones who passed as well as different members of the family who were still alive and wishing them success and happiness in their lives.
Torah Pointer's handle is made in a cylindrical shape and baluster fashion with multiple knops applied with a suspension ring with an inserted loop at its end.
The second half of the handle is triangular and flat applied to the uppermost knop. On one side there is a large engraved flower with many-branched foliate motifs sprouting from it and upward seemingly signifying the continuance in the later generations of the family.
On reverse the dedication engraved reads " In the name of God, this is a donation of Chadad Shalom for the resting and Uplifting of the soul of his wife Shoshana and her father David and his brother Binyamin may their memory be blessed". The dedication continues for the living members, " and for the (Success) in Life of his daughter Devorah and her children and (her husband) Son In law may God protect and Save (bless) them".
The Torah pointer tapers to the top point where a gloved pointing hand is applied.
Apparently Unmarked like most pieces from that region.

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.
