In Persian Jewish communities, the Torah scroll is generally not robed in a mantle but rather housed in an ornamental wooden case which protects the scroll, called a "tik". This tik probably originated in eastern Iran near the Afghan border. The use of painted metal for Jewish ritual objects in such striking red and green color is unique to these Torah Tiks. There are two silver metal plaques on the outside of the tik next to the opening, which record a dedication to the father, Eliezer, by the son, David.
