Etrog (citron fruit) box c. early 20th century

This early 20th-century silver box, made by an anonymous artist, is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship of Jewish ceremonial objects. The box, adorned with hand-painted scenes and Hebrew script, was likely used to hold the etrog, a citron fruit essential for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. The intricate rococo-inspired design, with its delicate floral motifs and three small feet, adds to the box's elegance and artistic value. This box is a prime example of the artistry and cultural significance of Jewish ritual objects.
