Gorgeous miniature case is set on a circular domed base with notched border design and artistically perforated on its gilt outer shell. Supporting the upper body with similar artistic perforations and notched lined designs. Along the length of its main body are beautiful prominently chased sunflowers embossed in two straight columns with ruby colored stone gems at their core.

The words "Parshat Hakhtoret" are proudly written along its side flanked by two flower and gem motifs. Top of the case is chased with foliate motifs surrounded by a beaded pattern and capped with a cupola shaped finial.


Scroll can be easily removed by lifting the top of the case and is attached to a gilded roller. The Parshat Hakhtoret is neatly scribed on vellum and is surrounded by lovely roman column frames. On the beginning of scroll there is a fabulous illustration on Aharon the Kohen Gadol burning incense in the Heichal ( Holy Inner Sanctum). At the end of the scroll is another exceptional illustration of the holy temple under a night sky.
