According to the Hebrew inscription engraved on the pendant, it was dedicated to Nachum Morgensztern who died in 1880. This is the first such finding discovered during excavation works in Warsaw. Pendants of this type were usually placed at the bottom of the Torah shield. They had an informative (containing details of the object’s founders), commemorative (commemoration could involve both the dead and the living), or a supplicatory function (expressing requests for a general blessing or for a specific grace, such as being healed). Analogous artefacts can be found in many museums around the world; in the text, three examples from the Jewish Museum in Prague are discussed in more detail.}, title={Srebrna zawieszka dedykacyjna odkryta w Ogrodzie Krasińskich w Warszawie w 2021 r. — próba interpretacji znaleziska}, type={Text}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/240130/276480.pdf}, keywords={Warsaw Ghetto, archaeology of Holocaust, dedicatory pendant, dedicatory plaque, Torah shield, Hebrew dedicatory inscription, Nachum Morgensztern}, }
