Antique Gothic Judaica Box with Kabbalistic Seals and Sacred Texts
About the Item
This rare and evocative Medieval Gothic box contains a powerful combination of Salomon’s Kabbalistic seals, a sacred ex libris dedicated to God, and a Star of David inscribed with Hebrew letters representing one of the sacred names of God- either Elohim, Adonai, or HaShem. These names, written with reverence, are traditionally spoken in place of the unpronounceable Tetragrammaton (יהוה), the holiest name of God in Jewish tradition.
The box is crafted in a long, narrow Gothic form, with subtle carved ornamentation. Its top slides open by hand, without any mechanism, adding to its sense of mystery and intentional simplicity- echoing the discreet nature of sacred knowledge.
Inside are several ancient paper fragments, bearing texts and symbols in Hebrew, Latin, and early German. These include mystical seals attributed to King Solomon, often used in Kabbalistic traditions for protection and divine communication. One striking piece displays a Star of David flanked by two angels, with sacred Hebrew letters at its center, evoking powerful spiritual meaning.
Another fragment intriguingly depicts Jesus as a rabbi, surrounded by esoteric symbols and cryptic markings. The exact purpose of these texts remains unknown- they are likely remnants from a lost Gothic manuscript blending Jewish mysticism with Christian iconography.
A rare and spiritually charged object, this box offers a glimpse into medieval esoteric traditions, where Kabbalah, sacred scripture, and hidden wisdom converge. A profound collector’s piece.
