From Sotheby’s

[hatam_soferet]

Sotheby’s has gigantic Judaica auctions every so often, and they often put the items on public display right before the auction. If you time your visit right, it’s almost as good as a museum (except that unlike a museum, it’s only open for three days, and then it’s over). Last time I was there, I saw these tops for Torah rollers.

(You get how these work, yes? They go on top of things like broom handles, to which are attached the Torah.)

DEAR LITTLE CARVED LIONS WITH BOGGLY EYES! In little lion houses!

I LOVE the boggly eyed lions! If I had a scroll of any description, that's what I would want on it :)

I love your exclamatory description even more than I love the photo.

Hee. Half the reason I blog about stuff is so that I can be hyperbolic about cuteness.
