(See succeeding note.) The metal hand employed as a pointer by the person using the roll is also exhibited. 72 CASE 2. 2. THE MANTLE OF THE LAW. *^* The " Mantle of the Law " is the popular name of the the cover for the scroll of the Pentateuch. It is made in the form of a bag so as to fit the scroll when it is rolled up, open at the bottom but closed at the top, except for two openings through which the scroll-handles pass. It is made of expensive material, which must not have been used for an...y other purpose. Between the sectional readings of the law in the synagogue the scroll is closed and covered with the mantle, which is usually decorated with an embroidered crown, borne between two lions, alike typical of Judah, and symbolical of the strength and majesty of the law. Two examples are shown in this case : the first of pink silk with richly gilt embroidery bear- ing the crown between two lions, and the second of white embroidered silk also bearing the crown and two lions. Similarly the upper ends of the scroll-handles are decorated with a coronet, usually made of gilded silver and adorned with bells, known as the " Crown of the Law," as exemplified by the Hebrew manuscript ex- hibited beside the mantles of the law.
