Velvet pouch

A rectangular pouch made of dark blue velvet with a brass zipper on it's longest side. The front is decorated with embroidery - gold (metal) and white (cotton): a horizontal rectangular decorative frame with richly embroidered corners. In the centre of the frame, there is a golden circle with eight loops on the edges, resembling a sun. Above, there is an inscription in Hebrew: "Jeruszalajim"(Jerusalem). The interior is filled with satin blue lining. The pouch might have been used to store a tallit.

The item was purchased for the collection of the Lublin Open Air Village Museum in 2007 from a collector from Warsaw who had bought it at the collector's exchange in Busko-Zdrój.
