  Sacred and Ritual  Torah mantle

© Center for Jewish Art, Photographer: Radovan, Zev, 10.6.1992

The Torah mantle is made of white satin.

The rectangular cloth cloak is made of three parts and is attached at both sides and top, leaving two splits one on each side, and two openings at the top for the Torah Scroll rods. The cloth is decorated from top to bottom with a golden crown decorated in a geometrical pattern and diamond-shaped inlaid of greens and reds. The crown is flanked by the initials of the inscription:

כ(תר) ת(ורה)

Translation: Torah crown

Beneath the initials, there is a Star of David flanked by two small stars. A dedicatory inscription in filled square letters is written beneath the stars and reads:

 היינריך זאלקא // קונץ 

Translation: Heinrich Zalkah // Kunz

The word 'Kunz' is flanked by two small stars and a third one is placed beneath it. A decorated strap is attached to the bottom of the mantle.
