An antique German Sterling Silver (.925) Besamim spice tower, traditionally used during the Havdalah ceremony.

Beautifully crafted in an architectural form, the tower features a tall central spire above a square body with four decorative flags extending from the corners. The side panels are decorated with Stars of David and stylized foliate motifs. One panel incorporates a hinged door that opens and closes properly, providing access to the interior spice compartment.

The piece is marked with the German crescent and crown silver hallmarks, 925 fineness mark, and additional hallmarks, all shown in the photographs.

The tower remains in very good condition.
