Miniature Synagogue Ark and Bema: American Folk Art, circa 1930s-1940s
Miniature synagogue ark (Aron Kodesh) and bema (podium) crafted in the American folk art style, circa 1930s-1940s. The ark features inlaid contrasting woods, free-standing turned columns, and a crest with a large Star of David flanked by stylized lions. The ark's interior, illuminated and rewired (preserving the original wiring), displays floral decoration and a miniature Torah or Megillah. The accompanying bema is of similar design and construction. Made in Detroit, Michigan (if before 1940). A full description of the origin and maker is included in the provenance information.
