Description
Pair of crown-like, hexagonal Torah caps (Hebrew: Rimonim) in fine filigree work. Six windows are incorporated into the curve of the filigree work, each with a small bell attached. Six small gilded finials adorn the top edge. Each Torah cap is attached in the centre to an undecorated silver rod with a spherical, gilded node, which serves as a cap for the rods of the Torah scroll. Some of the bells are missing.
