Although made in Austria before World War Two, this silver Torah pointer has a very modern look, likely adopted from the Jugendstil art movement in Vienna. At some point after this Torah pointer was acquired, bands of acanthus leaf decoration was engraved, an obvious attempt to give this pointer an "older look", that of 19th century Austrian Torah pointers. A curious juxtaposition!
