Vintage black velvet kippah (yarmulke) hand-embroidered with bullion metal thread in traditional Sephardic / Mizrahi style. This is a finely worked ceremonial piece featuring intricate raised metal embroidery motifs on rich velvet.
The interior shows hand stitching and clipped bullion thread ends consistent with traditional artisan construction rather than modern machine production. Likely dating to the late 20th century (circa 1970s–1990s), possibly earlier depending on provenance.
These types of embroidered kippot were commonly produced in North African or Jerusalem artisan workshops and are sought after by collectors of Judaica textiles.
