This is a beautiful polished Oryx Kosher Shofar.
A Shofar is a natural instrument made from animal horn that has been in use since Biblical times. The shofar is mentioned frequently in the Hebrew Bible. It was a shofar blast that emanated from the thick cloud on Mount Sinai and made the Israelites tremble in awe (Exodus 19-20). The shofar was used the announce holidays (Psalms 81:4), to sound in the New Year (Leviticus 7:9), in procession with the Ark of the Covenant (II Samuel 6:15), to signify war (Joshua 6:4, Judges 3:27), and just as a beautiful musical instrument (Psalms 98:6, 47:5).
Oryx Shofars are of the highest quality and 100% kosher. A kosher shofar has been properly cleaned and is contaminate free, as supervised by the Israel Rabbinical Council.
Shofar can come with 3 different levels of finish:
Polished: The husk, the rugged texture of the horn, is removed and it is polished to a lovely sheen.
Half-Polished: Along the length of the shofar half of the husk, the rugged texture of the horn, is removed and polished. The remainder of the husk is cleaned and left intact with minor sanding.
Natural: The husk, the rugged texture of the horn, is cleaned and left intact with only minor sanding.
* Colors and textures may vary due to the fact that this is a natural product.
The size of the shofar is determined by measuring outside around the spiral, not the overall length. This particular shofar is made of the horns of an Oryx, it is between 55-65 cm long (betwwen 22-26 inches) and it has a very high quality and finish.
* the inches are only approximate! The measuring standard for shofars is in centimeters.
