Sacred and Ritual Torah finials, 19??
The pear-shaped finial consists of a shaft, a body and an apex.
The cylindrical, tapering shaft is encircled by a ring at the bottom and at the top and surmounted by a compressed globular capital.
The pear-shaped body is composed of three parts. Two lower parts are divided by a band decorated with zigzag line, while the two upper are divided by a flat protruding ring, bearing eight rings with chains carrying globular bells.
The semi-globular body base depicts elongated leaves, radiating from the bottom, topped by a band bearing crimped branch with leaves.
The central tapering part represents four open flowers and a crimped branch with leaves between them.
The upper conical part is decorated similarly to the lowest part.
The finial is surmounted with an apex, shaped as the Star of David with a word “Zion” in the center.
