• Lot Description
  Generally, a finely embroidered strip of cloth, in some cases with inner and outer scenes, in the past would hold the rolled up scrolls after use. Great care was taken as the scrolls are sacred. Cloth ties or buckles like this item, became common fasteners. This buckle features 12 lava stone carvings of male faces, mounted into brass bezels, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, from the patriarch Jacob. Many of these buckles no longer bind scrolls, but have found a second use in fashion as an overt sign of the faithful. View and Bid on AspireAuctions.com
