A Silver Bezalel Case Esther Scroll, Jerusalem, 1st half 20th Century

This Esther scroll is housed in a sterling silver case. Tightly spun filigree wire with a few inlaid stones decorates this case, most notably at the top and bottom, but across the center as well. The center of the case has a large blank oval shaped cartouche, which is there for the possibility of the owner choosing to have their initials professionally engraved. An applied silver shield shaped plaque is on the handle that reads "Bezalel Jerusalem" in Hebrew. Quite striking in appearance.
