Up for consideration is this vintage Sterling Silver (.925) Jerusalem Old City Architectural Dreidel (Sevivon). Masterfully engineered and cast in solid sterling silver, this fine Judaica piece weighs an impressive 40.0 grams.
The upper crown features a detailed 3D miniature skyline of Jerusalem\'s Old City, including domed rooftops, arched entryways, and a tall central tower serving as the spinning handle. The main body is rendered in high-relief Kotel brick masonry. Each of the four sides incorporates a central recessed archway holding one of the traditional Hebrew letters: נ (Nun), ג (Gimmel), ה (Hay), and ש (Shin).
The piece features a smooth, polished conical spinning base stamped 925 along the lower collar edge. It exhibits crisp architectural casting details and fine structural weight balance, making it ideal for both functional holiday play and high-end display.
