This leather case may have been made to protect a gold kiddush cup given (according to the Hebrew inscription on the lid) by Isaac son of Jacob to a congregation named for his father Jacob Halevi.
The kiddush cup (kiddush goblet, kiddush beaker) is a goblet used for drinking wine in Jewish religious ceremonies on special occasions such as wedding or in the benediction before the evening meal preceding each Sabbath or a holy festival. Ordinarily there is no special form for these cups and any type of wine cup may be used.
