A Silver Torah Pointer, Morocco 1931
About the Item
An Exquisite Silver Torah Pointer, made in Morocco in 1931.
Torah pointer is yet another piece of Sephardic Judaica that was artistically made in Morroco in the early 20th century.
The first part of the handle of the Pointer is oval and quatrefoil shaped and is engraved with a palm tree branch with its leaves spread attached to a suspension ring and an affixed scroll ring on one side. On the reverse, there is a dedication of the pointer commemorating the passing of a young man with the name of Eliyahu Kreif and the year in which he passed.
The upper part of the handle is embossed on both sides with prominent flower and foliate scrolling surrounded by a teardrop border, which is the shape of the upper portion as well.
Tapering upper portion terminates with a gloved outstretched pointing hand.

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.
