Sefer Torah Made in Iraq
Torah Scroll
Iraq 1913
The following is an ancient Torah Scroll written upon parchment.
The Torah Scroll is complete from Bereshit until L’Einei Kol Yisrael.
The Torah Scroll is in reasonable condition. The Torah is composed of a few writings all of which are on parchment.
The Torah Scroll arrives from Iraq and it is within a beautifully rare box of a Torah Scroll which also arrives from Iraq.
The box is made of wood and is covered with leather with beautiful rare ornaments appearing upon the leather.
The box is very tall and its height is 1.05 meters.
Writing written upon parchment appears at the top of the box where it is written that the book was donated by the old Iraqi Chaim Shlomo Mizrachi in the year 1917.
The box is slightly broken at its top.
As well, a few ornaments are missing from the box, however, generally, it is in very good condition.
This item is very rare.
