Periphery in Motion Spinning Tops

The Spinning Top Collection offers a fresh, contemporary interpretation of Judaica and the traditional dreidel game. Each piece combines intricate design with unexpected functionality, transforming into both a striking work of art and an interactive toy.

The tops are crafted from circular brass plates, engraved with detailed illustrations that weave together historical, cultural, and modern narratives. Initially displayed as elegant medallions on dedicated stands, a simple twist reveals their playful nature, inviting users to engage with the pieces as dynamic games.

This dual purpose echoes the dreidel’s historical significance. During the Maccabean Revolt, Jewish children used spinning tops to conceal Torah study from approaching soldiers. In another tradition, dreidels were used in 16th-century Germany as part of a gambling game popular among Christians and Jews, especially during Hanukkah evenings.

The engraved designs create a compelling interplay of central and peripheral elements, telling stories that connect heritage, culture, and ecology. The collection appeals to collectors, art lovers, and game enthusiasts, offering a contemporary celebration of tradition and design.
