Description from the seller

Description: Etrog boxes are part of the Jewish Sukkot tradition (Feast of Tabernacles). Through the centuries, silversmiths and artisans have crafted very ornate and beautifully designed etrog boxes, specifically for Sukkot. An etrog is a citrus fruit and is part of the so-called Four Species: a palm frond, myrtle branches, willow branches, and the etrog. During Sukkot, all of this is ritually waved (shaken), one of the festival’s highlights. To protect this precious fruit well, it is kept in a special box or cloth.
