Pair of rimmonim, with crown shaped finials, which adorn the top end of the rollers of a Sefer Torah. The word rimmon/rimmonim comes from the Hebrew word for pomegranates. The crown symbolises Majesty and the Law of Torah. Yad (hand) or Torah pointer. Handle with a miniature hand with the index finger pointing. The yad is used to to indicate the place that is being read on a Torah.
