About the Item

This intricately engraved copper plate from mid-19th century Syria is a remarkable example of Kabbalistic artistry and spiritual symbolism. Featuring finely inscribed Hebrew letters, this handcrafted artifact embodies the mystical traditions of Kabbalah, likely used for protective or ritualistic purposes. The central motif consists of an elaborate floral pattern surrounded by an inscribed border, while additional script and a Star of David appear on the reverse side. The plate exhibits a rich patina, adding to its historical authenticity and aesthetic appeal. A rare and evocative piece, it reflects the fusion of Jewish mysticism and Islamic-era metalworking techniques prevalent in the region.
