Morocco: A Jewish 'shiviti' plaque in Hebrew, North Africa (or possibly Spain), 19th century

Shiviti are meditative representations of a menorah candlestick used in some Jewish communities for contemplation over God's name. They are usually placed over the amud - the podium from which the prayer service is led by the hazzan.
