Wimple (sash for the Sefer Torah) from handmade cloth with lace, Germany, [1771]. Length 255 cm. width 15 cm. Spectacular cloth wimple handmade with lace which creates upper and lower borders, along the entire length. Hand embroidered in colorful letters in a frame: Esther Kohenet Mila Shnat HaTkla. The wimple is a known German custom from the 16th century to make a sash for the Sefer Torah from a cloth diaper (usually linen) from a brit milah. On the cloth they embroidered or drew colorful letters of the name of the baby, his family and a blessing. When the child reached the age of three he would bind the Sefer Torah in the synagogue with his wimple. This wimple is unique in that besides its amazing artistic work, it has the name of a woman (perhaps the personal name of the embroiderer) while all the other additions are missing. Minimal staining, very fine condition.
