Renaissance Bible Book-Binding Mezuzah (Pewter)

This pewter mezuzah case was inspired by the lacework motifs on the pierced-silver binding of a seventeenth-century Tanakh (i.e., the Five Books of Moses) from Augsburg, Germany. (The original is now in the collection of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.)

Dimensions: 4 x 0.5 inches

An enduring symbol of safety and protection for all who dwell within a home, a mezuzah consists of a prayer scroll in a decorative case, which is affixed to the front door jamb (and sometimes to interior doorposts as well). They make an especially good gift for a wedding or housewarming.
