The cylindrical sieve for flour and grain, with a membrane made of parchment which is a fragment of a Torah scroll; for the history of the object see the note to object MPOLIN-M720.

The Torah text (in Hebrew) fills the entire membrane. The Hebrew letters are clear. The sieve was handmade, as suggested by the holes in the membrane spaced at different distances from each other and of different sizes. The sieve has uneven edges. The membrane is reinforced with strips glued to its bottom layer. The parchment was joined to the wood in the form of a roundabout and was additionally fixed with glue.
