Abraham’s Ram Besamim Spice Box in Sterling Silver

Created by artist Richard Wessner, the Besamin Spice Box is inspired by the story of Abraham’s ram. When Abraham takes his son Issac to the top of the mountain to sacrifice him to God, he is stopped by an angel. God then promises Abraham that he will reward him with a lamb to sacrifice, but instead offers him a ram. This sterling silver spice box is meant to symbolize the great sacrifice of Abraham, his ultimate act of faith, and God’s mercy.

Complement this piece with the Bears in Tree Torah Pointer, another unique creation in our collection.

When you lift the tail on the Ram’s back, you’ll find a compartment beneath that’s perfect for storing spices. This helps blend the biblical narrative with the Jewish ritual of Havdula (marking the end of the Sabbath). The Besamin Spice Box is also offered in bronze.

All items are enclosed in 100% boiled wool keeps. A gift box with a sterling silver Forgotten Judaica button and card are included.
