Torah-Mantle

1900/1910

Compared to the others, this Torah mantle is very simple and has no dedication inscription. The rose-patterned silk fabric could well have been a garment before it was converted into a Torah mantle. Apart from the Star of David embroidered with a gold border, the cloth doesn't show a religious context. This mantle is dated to the beginning of the 20th century; the synagogue in which it was once used can no longer be determined. What is certain, however, is that it was not used during the High Holidays in autumn.
