This Torah Pointer (Yad) is a beautiful blend of traditional religious craftsmanship and modern design. The pointer features a solid .925 sterling silver hand with a finely detailed cuff, hallmarked clearly for authenticity.

The shaft is crafted from a high-quality, turned hardwood with a deep, rich stain. It features a distinctive hand-carved diamond pattern (pineapple grip) in the center, flanked by architectural ring turnings and a classic ball finial. The wood is finished with a high-gloss protective lacquer, making it durable for regular synagogue use or as a distinguished display piece.

• Artisanship: The combination of sterling silver and precision-turned wood is a hallmark of late 20th-century Israeli and American Judaica.

• Symbolism: The "Yad" (Hand) protects the sacred parchment of the Torah scroll from the oils of the human hand during reading.

Item Specifics:

• Origin: Most likely Israel, based on the style of the "925" hallmark and the specific turning patterns of the wood.

• Age: Late 20th Century (Circa 1970s–1980s).

• Material: .925 Sterling Silver hand/cuff and polished Hardwood.

• Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition. The wood remains vibrant with no cracks or significant finish loss. The silver hand displays a light, natural patina that highlights its detail, though it can be polished to a mirror shine if desired.
