ANTIQUE COPPER BREASTPLATE TASS PENDANT ~ Rare Triangle~ Star of David SHIN-GOD

Description

Found with many Mezuzahs from an avid collector,
(AND BEING SOLD IN SEPARATE AUCTIONS)
this piece is quite unusual.  I believe, based on the size, that it's a pendant that represents an ornamental Breastplate (Tass) or Shield that was hung in front of the Torah Scroll.  The shape alone is rarely seen.  The simplistic triangle displays an all-over "dotted" texture. An embossed Star of David above the center was left smooth, as was the Hebrew letter "Shin" (stands for the word SHADDAI...a name for God) that sits atop. Two small loops on each corner/top I assume are for a chain or other means of hanging. A small area of metal darkening to the left of the star is a natural process and most likely could be polished out.  Piece measures 3" vertically and 1" horizontally at the widest/top area.  Just a lovely piece of Judaica for your special collection!
