A Rare Olivewood Etrog Container, Jerusalem 20th century

About the Item

A rare 20th-century olivewood Etrog container handcrafted in Jerusalem. The box features an octagonal shape with intricate carvings that celebrate its cultural and religious significance. The lid is adorned with a depiction of the Ten Commandments tablets containing the two blessings made on the Lulav, framed by olive branches, symbolizing peace. Painted Hebrew inscriptions encircle the lid quoting biblical texts regarding the four species of fruit traditionally used to make blessings on the festival of Sukkot, adding spiritual depth and artistry. The sides of the box showcase carvings of Jerusalem's iconic architecture, including the Western Wall, the Tomb of the Matriarch- Rachel, and the Temple Mount, capturing the city's sacred and historical essence. The natural grain of the olivewood enhances its aesthetic appeal, showcasing the rich, warm tones unique to this wood. This Etrog box is a functional and symbolic artifact, traditionally used during Sukkot to store the Etrog fruit. Its exceptional craftsmanship and historical connection to Jerusalem make it a treasured collectible and a meaningful piece of Judaica.

20th Century String Puppet
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This oddly beautiful, in a tragic way, puppet was made somewhere in the 20th century, as we are uncertain of their specific creation date. The plexiglass case around them was custom made for them specially, and has kept them safe all these years. You are able to take the puppet out of the case and maneuver it around like any other string puppet. They are dressed in a white, silk suit with black pom poms decorating the gown. Their expression is dramatic in a way that you almost cannot tell what emotion they are expressing; it is up to your interpretation. Great as a collectors item. PLEXIGLASS BOX Dimensions: 32.5"H x 10.5"W x 10.5"D We do local delivery close or in Los Angeles for fee. Will calculate shipping...
