Description

(According to a depiction from 'Jüdisches Lexikon'). Twin columns garlanded with flowers, in the upper third a sun with Hebrew inscription. Hebrew inscription (donation of Albert Lefkowitsch) below the floral garland. In the lower third a Tree of Life arising from a central vase motive.

Provenance

Frome the synagogue in the Seitenstettengasse (Stadttempel). Difficult to identify caused by inadequate material descriptons of the museum's inventory book (before 1938). Described and depicted in 'Jüdisches Lexikon' (1927-1930).
