This Torah crown features silver medallions bearing the signs of the zodiac against filigree surfaces in its main section. At bottom, silver medallions decorated with semi-precious stones alternate with bone plaques depicting Holy Land Sites including David's Tower, the Dome of the Rock, Absalom's Tomb, Rachel's Tomb, and Zachariah's Tomb. Created at the Bezalel School in Jerusalem in the 1910s, the Torah crown was taken to Russia in the early 1920s as attested by the import marks on the piece and subsequently became part of the collection owned by Rose and Benjamin Mintz of Warsaw. The couple traveled to New York to exhibit their collection at the 1939 World's Fair. Although it was ultimately not exhibited, the collection was safely in New York when Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939. In 1947, Rose Mintz, then a widow, sold this Torah crown along with the rest of the collection to The Jewish Museum.
