Handwasher With Faucets
$3,965.00
Two handles enable the user to perform properly the ritual hand washing. The handles are designed to resemble two water faucets, one labeled Hot and one Cold with semi precious stones of blue agate and red carnelian. The design harmonizes the biblical citation with the contemporary design. The sterling silver is made even more authentic with its hammered finish. Around the base is the phrase in Hebrew: “Place the laver between the meeting tent and the altar, and put water in it.” (Exodus 40:7)
