Description from the seller

Antique yad in 925/1000 silver – Torah reading pointer – Possibly Italian

An elegant yad in solid 925/1000 silver, a traditional ritual instrument used in Jewish worship to follow the sacred text while reading the Torah scrolls without touching the parchment directly.

Probably of Italian origin, this beautiful example features a long, tapered handle richly adorned with floral motifs and stylized scrollwork, worked in relief against a finely textured background.

It ends in a delicate sculpted hand with an extended index finger, characteristic of Torah pointers. The upper section is embellished with a suspension ring and decorative elements.

A beautiful piece of Judaica, combining finely crafted silversmithing with religious tradition.

Good overall condition, with signs of use, minor marks, and patina consistent with its age. Some irregularities are visible in the details of the hand and decorative elements. See photographs.

The photographs form an integral part of the description of the items and complement their presentation. They allow you to assess their condition and features. Please examine them carefully before making a commitment.

The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.

Happy bidding
