Pair of Rowel Spurs
Object type: spur
Date: 1400 – 1400
Materials: copper alloy, gold
Culture: european

Around 1400, the length of the rowel spurs’ necks started to increase in western Europe, some examples extending even as long as the rider’s foot in the 15th century. At this period, the elevated war saddles and the very specific riding style, with long stirrup leathers and legs extended forward, had the consequence of taking away the rider’s feet from the horse’s flank. Thus, these long necks gave them easier access without having to disturb the rider’s position. As well as being necessary equestrian instruments, spurs were one of the symbols of knightly status, and were among the objects given to the knight during his knighting.

This tabard-like garment would have been worn as part of a set of liturgical vestments by a Roman Catholic priest whilst leading Christian church services. It is made out of a sturdy, mass-produced fabric created on a Jacquard loom, whose punch-card reading technology allowed complex patterns to be machine-woven, the pride of French technical innovation. Its pattern is boldly articulated with red and orange lilies against a forest-green background. The exaggerated tear-drop shape of its front is very typical of nineteenth-century taste.

Torah crown (keter)
Object type: torah crown
Date: 1740 – 1750
Materials: gilt, silver
Artist: andrea zambelli "l'honnesta"
Artist role: silversmith
Artist nationality: italian
Artist dates: 1720 – 1772
Subjects: crowns

Exceptional for its size and precious material, this Torah crown is a rare survival of 18th-century Italian silver and a testimony to the artistic virtuosity of goldsmithing in Venice. In synagogues the scroll of the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, is often decorated with a set of vestments and silver ornaments including a crown or finials, and a shield. The crown augments the Torah’s status as an object associated with royalty and speaks to the centrality of the Torah in Jewish life. The motifs depicted include ritual references such as priestly garments, a miniature temple, a menorah, and the Tablets of the Law, the latter engraved in Hebrew with the Ten Commandments. Such rich embellishment is indicative of the wealth and influential status of the Jewish congregation in the Venetian city state. The maker, Andrea Zambelli, is known to have made a wide range of ritual Judaica as well as religious silver for the local churches. A later inscription in Hebrew documents that this "crown of glory, and diadem of beauty" [Isaiah 28:5], was given by the philanthropist and president of the Jewish community in Padua, Gabriel Trieste, to his congregation in the mid-19th century.
