Антикварна срібна указка (яд) для читання Тори

An antique silver yad — a traditional pointer used for reading the Torah. The piece has an elongated form with a slender shaft wrapped in decorative wire, ending in a hand with an extended index finger. On the opposite end, there is a suspended element in the form of a small tassel. The body is adorned with openwork spherical elements and sculptural decoration in the form of a small figurative figure. The surface also features a decorative motif in the shape of the Star of David. Clear hallmarks are preserved on the shaft, including the date «1878» and the «84» silver standard mark.
