Tefillin (prayer container) box (one of a pair)

These intricately filigreed silver boxes were made to cover leather Tefillin boxes containing passages from the Torah. Deuteronomy 6:8 instructs, And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. Traditional Jewish men attach the Tefillin to the head and arm with leather straps during morning prayers.
