This vintage cast brass Mezuzah case features exceptional detail, showcasing the Star of David at the crown and the Hebrew name (ש-ד-י) elegantly integrated into the central relief. The letters Shin, Dalet, and Yud are stacked vertically, following the traditional custom of displaying God’s name to protect the home.

The piece boasts a heavy, high-relief "Baroque" style with an authentic aged patina. It includes mounting loops at the top and bottom. Note that the reverse is currently sealed; the case is being sold as a decorative vintage item "as-is," as the presence or condition of an internal scroll cannot be verified.

  • Symbolism: Features the full Shaddai acronym and Magen David

  • Material: Solid Cast Brass

  • Dimensions: Approximately 3.25 inches

  • Condition: Vintage with natural oxidation and mounting residue on the back

  • Reference: The Encyclopedia of Jewish Symbols, by Ellen Frankel and Betsy Platkin Teutsch. See Page 108 for the significance of the Shaddai (Shin-Dalet-Yud) inscription on mezuzah cases as a protective symbol for the household.
