This is a beautifully crafted vintage sterling silver mezuzah case made by the highly respected Israeli silver workshop Netafim. The case features an intricate, pierced openwork (cutout) design highlighting stylized Hebrew lettering woven into flowing scrollwork. The domed top and bottom endcaps are adorned with fine, hand-engraved chased accents, showcasing the exceptional metalwork typical of the Netafim lineage.
Designed for prominent presentation, the case measures approximately 6 inches in length and features pre-drilled mounting holes at the top and bottom of the flat backing plate for easy installation on a doorpost. The openwork front design elegantly exposes the parchment scroll (not included) when housed inside.
