Description
Two ornate brass breastplates:
1. One with twelve semiprecious stones, each representing the twelve tribes of Israel, named for Jacob's sons and grandsons Asher, Dan, Ephraim, Gad, Issachar, Manasseh, Naphtali, Reuben, Simeon, Zebulun, Judah and Benjamin as indicated by the engraved title associated with each 'stone' within a mount having fleur-de-lis at each corner.
2. A hoshen Jewish priest brass breastplate with twelve icons, each again to represent the twelve sons and grandsons of Jacob, the whole within a brass frame lettered 'Holiness to the Lord.'
Measures 8.5 x 8.75 and 8 x 7.75 inches.
Provenance: The collection of Josephine Bird Hall (1888 - 1948) by descent to her son, the present owner. Josephine's father was a founder of Kansas City's Emery, Bird, Thayer Department Store.
AN ABSENTEE BID PLACED IN ADVANCE COULD LOSE TO A LIVE BID OF EQUAL AMOUNT PLACED LATER. First bid precedence is not possible in auctions that incorporate live bidding via multiple online platforms, live bidders participating in the sale room and live telephone bidders. The only ways to avoid the possibility of losing the bid in this manner is to attend the live auction or bid absentee with plus-one option.
