{"product_id":"9788087366127","title":"Silver Judaica: From the Collection of the Jewish Museum in Prague","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Jewish Museum in Prague is home to a variety of silver Jewish ritual artifacts, from Kiddush cups, Hanukkah lamps, and Torah decorations, to the dozens of other objects used in observing the commandments. \u003ci\u003eSilver Judaica \u003c\/i\u003ecelebrates this extraordinary collection with full-color illustrations and detailed explanations of each of the museum’s nearly five hundred pieces. Jaroslav Kuntoš covers each artifact in painstaking detail, highlighting the design features that indicate a piece’s date and place of production. Kuntoš compares and contrasts those pieces made by Jews with those made by Christians, explaining how—during the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, the period when a majority of these artifacts were made—Jews were excluded from membership in the guilds, and as a result, many of the ceremonial objects, though used by Jewish communities, were made by non-Jewish manufacturers or artisans on commission. A fascinating survey of superior craftsmanship, \u003ci\u003eSilver Judaica \u003c\/i\u003ewill appeal to students and scholars of art history and religious studies alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karolinum Press, Charles University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044583653616,"sku":"9788087366127","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9788087366127_p0.jpg?v=1763724912","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9788087366127","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
