Abstract
- The article provides information on the discovery of an early Torah pointer which originated in Afghanistan. The pointer is an elongated bronze bar with an inscription of mixed Hebrew and Judaeo-Persian characters. The religious inscriptions in Hebrew suggest that the Torah pointer was made for ritual or ceremonial purposes. Particular focus is also given to the translation of the inscriptions and how they relate with the tomb inscriptions from Gh&#016B;r, Afghanistan.
