This highly detailed aron kodesh is in fact a miniature. It is actually a functional piece of synagogue furniture, designed to house a 17 cm tall Torah parchment. The ark was commissioned as a gift to a well-known philanthropist. The design for this piece drew its inspiration from a 17th century Italian aron kodesh. The gold plated silver castings depict scenes from the western Wall in Jerusalem and the Tomb of the Fathers in Hebron. The design was done in cooperation with Bier Judaica Inc.
