DescrizioneSilver spice box with cube container, flag on top and four small banners below, used for Havdalah (ending of the Sabbath). Little is known about the provenance. It was bought in London sometime "before 1976" and used for ritual in the donor's home.
Havdalah (Hebrew for ‘separation’) is a Jewish religious ceremony that marks the symbolic end of Shabbat and ushers in the new week, symbolically separating the holy day from the mundane period that follows. The ritual involves lighting a special havdalah candle with several wicks, blessing a cup of wine and smelling aromatic spices. Shabbat (the Sabbath) ends on Saturday night after the appearance of three stars in the sky.
