Baroque Judaica (2) - Horn - 1990-2000 - Shofar

For sale is an exclusive lot consisting of two traditional Jewish shofars (ritual wind instruments) made from genuine ram's horn. Both pieces originate from the renowned Israeli traditional manufacturer Barsheshet-Ribak (Shofarot-Israel) in Tel Aviv, one of the oldest and most respected shofar makers worldwide (family tradition since the 14th century).

Details of the individual pieces:
1. Light, fully polished ram's horn shofar (with original certificate stickers):
• Appearance: Completely smooth polished surface with beautiful, natural grain in cream, honey, and beige tones.
• Labeling: Original gold manufacturer sticker “SHOFAROT-ISRAEL – Kosher under the supervision of the Rabbinate of Tel Aviv-Jaffa – Barsheshet & Ribak” as well as white inspection seal “Made in Israel 10/12 – Barsheshet-Ribak.”
• Dimensions (approx.): Span/Length (measured straight) approx. 19–20 cm (equivalent to the manufacturer’s measurement of 10–12 inches along the outer curvature).
2. Two-tone ram’s horn shofar (half-polished / natural finish):
• Appearance: Attractive contrast between the smoothly polished, light mouthpiece area and the natural, dark brown to black ribbed sounding cone with authentic horn texture.
• Dimensions (approx.):
• Length (straight measured): approx. 21.5 cm
• Opening (sounding cone): approx. 6.5 cm × 4.5 cm

Condition & highlights:
• Both instruments are in very good, nearly new condition with no cracks or damage.
• Due to the varying surface finishes (one fully polished, the other half-polished with a natural texture), the two pieces complement each other perfectly as a collector’s pair.
• Suitable for liturgical use (e.g., for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) as well as as significant Judaica collection pieces or artful decorative objects.

What’s included:
• 2x ram’s horn shofars as pictured (carefully and crash‑proofly packaged for worldwide shipping).
