Summary

Description
English: Coloured papercut in mixed technique: the central part not cut out, but inscribed and drawn. Otherwise symmetrically structured, but evidently cut in one layer.

The central section consists of two twisted columns, a menorah held by lions, above the menorah, the star of David. In the upper field a banner: "Jom Chag Ha Schawuot ha se", tablets of the law, crown, carnation blossoms, shining sun. On the sides between branches, pairs of animals: first a stag, then a stork, a bird, a squirrel and another bird.

The signs "Masat" in the middle of the leaf in the Star of David, are the abbreviation for "Sman Matan Toratenu", (time of the gift of our Torah).
Deutsch: Kolorierter Scherenschnitt in Mischtechnik: die zentrale Partie nicht ausgeschnitten, sondern beschrieben und gezeichnet. Ansonsten achsensymmetrischer Aufbau, aber offensichtlich einlagig geschnitten.

Mittelteil gebildet aus zwei gedrehten Säulen, Menorah von Löwen gehalten, darüber Menorah, Davidsstern. Im oberen Feld Spruchband: "Jom Chag Ha Schawuot ha se", Gesetzestafeln, Krone, Nelkenblüten, strahlende Sonne. An den Seiten zwischen Ranken Tierpaare: zuoberst Hirsch, dann Storch, Vogel, Eichhörnchen und nochmals Vogel.

Die Zeichen "Masat" in der Mitte des Blattes im Davidsstern, sind die Abkürzung für "Sman Matan Toratenu", (Zeit der Gabe unserer Tora).
Français : Découpage de papier coloré en technique mixte : la partie centrale n'est pas découpée, mais inscrite et dessinée. Sinon, la structure est symétrique, mais de toute évidence, elle a été découpée en une seule couche.

La partie centrale se compose de deux colonnes torsadées, d'une ménorah tenue par des lions, au-dessus de la ménorah, l'étoile de David. Dans le champ supérieur, une bannière : "Jom Chag Ha Schawuot ha se", tablettes de la loi, couronne, fleurs d'œillet, soleil rayonnant. Sur les côtés, entre les branches, des couples d'animaux : d'abord un cerf, puis une cigogne, un oiseau, un écureuil et un autre oiseau.

Les signes "Masat" au milieu de la feuille de l'étoile de David, sont l'abréviation de "Sman Matan Toratenu", (moment du don de notre Torah).
