This yad is entirely hand made. The hand portion is pure copper. Along the length of the yad are 4 slender copper plates. I applied powdered glass and then heated these strips to 1600 deg, fusing the glass to the copper.
This yad measures approximately 6 inches in length. It has a nice weight to it and feels very sturdy.
Commonly given as a B'nai Mitzvah gift, this yad would make a meaningful gift for any special occasion.
