About Decorative Mezuzah Cases
A mezuzah is a ritual object in Judaism — a small case affixed to the doorpost of a home, containing a handwritten parchment scroll (klaf) inscribed with verses from Deuteronomy. The tradition of marking doorposts dates to the Torah's instruction in Deuteronomy 6:9 to write God's words upon the doorposts of one's house. While the scroll inside is the religiously essential element, the outer case has become an important vehicle for Jewish artistic expression. Decorative mezuzah cases range from simple silver cylinders to elaborate hand-painted designs adorned with crystals and precious metals. Hand-painted mezuzah cases crafted from metal alloy, decorated with colored enamel, and adorned with Austrian and Swarovski crystals bring ornamental artistry to this religious tradition. Most designs are plated in 24K gold or 925 sterling silver and fit a standard 10 cm parchment scroll.
