Silver Torah Ornaments

Silver Torah Ornaments
The earliest Torah ornaments are the Torah crowns and the Rimonim, or Torah finials, mounted on the Torah case or on the staves of the Torah scroll. In the earlier times, The Torah crowns and finials were made of various decorative items such as jewelery and greenery. Later, the Torah crowns and other Torah ornaments were made of silver and were used regularly to this date to decorate the Torah scrolls in the synagogue.

The Torah breastplate, or Torah shield, an ornamental metal plate or shield hung in front of the Torah scroll, is another decorative form of adorning the Torah scroll. The Torah breastplate may come in various shapes - triangular, oval or rounded, depicting motifs of ritual references such as Lions & Luchot (10 Commandments), a Tree of Life or insignia of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Torah breastplates also feature verses from the Torah skillfully designed with cut-out letters on the face or outer edges of the breastplate. In addition, some Torah breastplates also contain interchangeable plaques representing important Holidays and the portion of the Torah to be read.
