A Brass Mezuzah Case, India Early 20th Century

About the Item

A Stylized Brass Mezuzah Case, Made in India in the Early 20th Century. From the 19th century through the early 20th century, there was a significant group of Jews that lived in India and made different religious articles and Judaica in their cities. The Judaica which comes from there like most Judaica was influenced by that region with the individualized styles and designs which were taken from the structures and the culture that was prevalent in that area. This particular Mezuzah case is attached to a large stylized backplate with a tubular casing attached at the front in which the scroll is kept. At both ends of the scroll casing, baluster architectural domes are made similar to the tops of palace domes present in that region. Pierced at the center a lovely heart-shaped window backed by glass enables us to see the scroll when placed within. Provenance; The Willy Lindwer Collection
