About the Item
An Attractive Silver Torah Pointer made in Israel circa 1950.
These unique filigree designs that adorn this Torah pointer can only be attributed to the Bezalel style of filigree design and patterns. Many students of Bezalel went on to create their own lines of Judaica, especially in the mid-20th century, and due to the influence of Bezalel their designs and patterns were similar.
Torah pointer has a spherical dome at the top decorated with filigree circular patterns and an applied filigree suspension ring and affixed chain.
The Tapering cylindrical handle is garnished with undulating filigree scrolling and protuberant diamond shapes encompassed by patterned beaded borders.
Along the smooth tapering handle, above and in the center we find similar filigree designs this time in the shape of kingly crowns with diamond shapes at the tips.
Pointer is finished with a filigree cuffed extended pointing hand.
Apparently Unmarked.

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.
