Decorative early 20th-century Hebrew prayer book (siddur), housed in an elaborate hinged book-form case with inlaid mother-of-pearl and metal mounts.

The spine is clad in engraved metal and prominently marked in Hebrew "?????" ("Siddur") and the inner metal panel bears a fully engraved dedication.
