They were made in Ioannina, but the silversmith was probably not Jewish. Rimmonim and other decorations of the Torah scrolls are customary as a way of fulfilling Hiddur Mitzah; the glorification of the commandment. The first such finals in the Middle Ages were probably decorated with pomegranates (rimmonim), hence the name. Small bells are attached so that there is music when the Torah scrolls are carried in procession. media/000 10b.jpg plain 2020-12-01T08:43:48-08:00 Queens College Special Collections and Hellenic American Project circa 1999-2010 Vincent Giordano Collection on the Greek-Jewish Community in New York City and Ioannina, Greece Shared under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ Lower East Side, (New York, N.Y.)
