It ends in a delicate sculpted hand with an extended index finger, characteristic of Torah pointers. The upper section is embellished with a suspension ring and decorative elements. A beautiful piece of Judaica, combining finely crafted silversmithing with religious tradition. Good overall condition, with signs of use, minor marks, and patina consistent with its age.
