Outstanding hand carved mezuzah case is exquisitely made with precise flower and foliate scrolled carvings decorating the sides and front of the case. Front center carving features a Jewish man dressed in traditional garb at the doorstep of his home kissing the mezuzah with his right hand. A pronounced letter ‘Shin’ is carved into the top center, and at the top and bottom ends of the case are beaming suns surrounding the holes made to attach the case to a persons door frame with nails or screws.
