Description | Wimpel commissioned by the Lilienthal family of Munich, Germany, on honor of their son, Menachem Mendel (later Rabbi Max) Lilienthal (1814-1882), to an artisan named Koppel Heller. The Hebrew inscription is enclosed and surmounted by twenty-four embroidered images of plants and animals (including a peacock, a tulip, a hare, an eagle, and the Zodiac sign of the scorpion), three crowns, and scenes from the Jewish life cycle (birth and childood, Bar mitzvah and marriage). The maker's name appears on a shield form suspended from the last symbol on the binder, a rooster. | |
