{"product_id":"silver-judaica-jaroslav-kuntos-9788087366127","title":"Silver Judaica: From the Collection of the Jewish Museum in Prague","description":"The Jewish Museum in Prague is home to a variety of silver Jewish ritual artifacts, from Kiddush cups, Hanukkah lamps, and Torah decorations, to the dozens of other objects used in observing the commandments. \u003ci\u003eSilver Judaica \u003c\/i\u003ecelebrates this extraordinary collection with full-color illustrations and detailed explanations of each of the museum's nearly five hundred pieces. Jaroslav Kuntos covers each artifact in painstaking detail, highlighting the design features that indicate a piece's date and place of production. Kuntos compares and contrasts those pieces made by Jews with those made by Christians, explaining how--during the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, the period when a majority of these artifacts were made--Jews were excluded from membership in the guilds, and as a result, many of the ceremonial objects, though used by Jewish communities, were made by non-Jewish manufacturers or artisans on commission. A fascinating survey of superior craftsmanship, \u003ci\u003eSilver Judaica \u003c\/i\u003ewill appeal to students and scholars of art history and religious studies alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaroslav Kuntos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8087366123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788087366127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karolinum Press, Charles University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 7.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Jaroslav Kuntos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49083360280831,"sku":"9788087366127","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/silver-judaica-jaroslav-kuntos-9788087366127","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
