Fruits of the Bible — grape, wheat, pomegranate, olive and fig — the indigenous fruits of Israel reflect the goodness and bounty of the Land and have special Biblical and Rabbinic status. They decorate the four Torah mantles which are made in the Sephardic style of a cotton brocade fabric and heavily embellished with mixed braids and trims, metallics, beads, and sequins.
