A Silver German Havdalah Spice Box, Early 20th Century
Located in New York, NY
A silver German spice box from the early 20th century is a finely crafted, understated yet elegant piece that reflects the high level of craftsmanship typical of German silversmiths during this period. The box is rectangular, with smooth silver surfaces and the design leans toward simplicity, characteristic of the early 20th century's shift toward Art Deco or late Jugendstil (German Art Nouveau) influences. The hinged lid features clean geometric patterns that frame the engraving written in Hebrew at the center flanked by flower engravings and securely closes over the compartment with a latch that holds the fragrant spices. The sides of the spice box are beautifully engraved with more Hebrew verses relating to the blessings of the spices and flanked by flower motifs. The overall structure is delicate yet sturdy, reflecting the precision and skill of early 20th-century German Judaica...

The hair of the judge turns up like the horns of Satan. The soldier is accusing a fox of killing his hare, and the fox is shown sneaking away, for he is probably responsible for the death of the hare. The judges table...
