JEWISH CHARITY BOX TZEDAKKAH BOX PORCELAIN MONEYBOX | ETSY EN ESPAÑA

7x10x6 cm/ 3x4x2.5 inches, slipcasted porcelain with incised floral decoration under a clear transparent glaze, which helps to emphasize the carved decoration: "Tzedakkah" with Hebrew letters, written with handpainted black chinapaint among flowers on one front side, and a pair of peacocks on the other side. Gold color silk ribbon and turquoise wooden beads. Carved decoration. The inspiration of the shape comes from Hungarian folk art, the treasury chest or clothing coffin of village people. Standing on tiny legs - in case of the coffin is to prevent moist or mice getting close to the contents. In case of this tiny box the small legs refer to its ritual purpose: the ritual is to put money into it regularly, for example before lighting the Shabbat candles. The lid is removeable, as much as the ribbon lets it move: a wooden bead tied to the end of the ribbon prevents it from slipping out of the lid. The idea is that we treasure our ability to give. There is no need for a lock of any kind: this money-box is a tiny one to be used at home, which has to be emptied regularly, so that those in need won’t have to wait for long. Empty it regularly, and give it where help is needed most. Perfect bat mitzvah present for a friend. 7x10x5 cm/3x4x2 inches Back to shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/JudaicaHungarica
