17 Wimpels (Torah binders). [Alsace-Lorraine], 1858 until 1897.
Felt-tip pens and gouache on cotton fabrics.
Seventeen wimples, some are folk-art, home-made, while others were created by craftsmen. The quality of the coloring and of the letters varies. Drawings of animals were added to some as well as visual depictions of the Torah, chuppah, bride and groom; on some Wimpels the name of the newborn appears also in Latin characters.
According to the surnames appearing on the Wimpels and considering the repeated use of blue-white-red colors, it seems that most of the Wimpels (if not all of them) are from the region of Alsace-Lorraine. Among the names mentioned: Braunschweig, Blum, Lewaillant, Dreyfus, Bloch, Schmoll, Goetchel, Grelinger, Meyer, Levy and more.
Average width: approximately three meters. Condition varies, some are stained, worn or unraveled.

About 300 kippot, hats and head-coverings from Central Asia, Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan, Bukhara, Uzbekistan, Turkistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, North Africa and the Balkan countries. Most of the hats and head-coverings in this collection were made in their native countries at the end of the 19th century and in the first decades of the 20th century and reached Israel with the wave of Jewish immigrants from the Diaspora (although amongst them are also head-covering and kippot from the second half of the 20th century, from Israel and other countries).
The kippot were gathered by the Davis couple who appreciated Jewish folk art in all its forms of material expressions, and formed a rich and varied collection which later evolved into one of their major collections.
On the inner side of many kippot appear serial numbers of the Davis collection and many have been recorded throughout the years in exhibition catalogues and have been published in books. The Davis couple said about their collection of kippot: "Our collection has an abundance of kippot including many different types of kippot, handmade, which are used for head-coverings in various communities including those brought in the book by Bossert, H. Th. Decorative Art of Egypt and Asia, (London, 1956). Some of our kippot were displayed in the Bukhara exhibition at the Israel Museum in the winter of 1967. They were also displayed in the exhibition 'Israel throughout the Generations' which took place in the Petit Palais in Paris in 1968" (Jewish Folk-art throughout the Generations, by Eli and Elise Davis, p. 42).
Among the items are also a number of accompanying embroidered items: Eretz Israeli-Palestinian head-coverings, belts, Iranian tallit corners embroidered with verses from the Shma, and more.
Size and condition vary.

1. Hats and Caps of the Jews, Eli and Elise Davis ("Massada", 1983).
2. Jewish Folk-art Throughout the Generations by Eli and Elise Davis (Reuven Mas, Jerusalem, 1978).

Embroidered fabric, with decorations and Biblical verses. Unknown place [Ottoman Empire?, first half of the 20th century].
Gilded metallic thread and cotton thread embroidery on silk and cotton fabrics.
