Abstract:
The Museum recently acquired a pair of 18th century Torah finials as a gift from the Friends of the Judaic Art Gallery. The finials are ornamental handles which are attached to wooden staves and rollers to help open scrolls which contain Jewish scripture. This pair was originally made for the Grote Synagogue in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The finials survived plundering from the Nazis during World War II while many other items in the Grote Synagogue did not. The finials, their use, their history, and their acquisition are all detailed.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Museum of art knows the value of provenance. The painting Madonna and Child by Andrea Del Sarto (1486-1531) was suspected of being stolen by the Nazis in World War II only three years after discovering their painting Madonna and Child in a Landscape by Lucas Cranach was stolen by the Nazis. After being approached by a claimant who wanted to seize the suspected stolen Del Sarto painting, the Museum conducted an investigation to verify the painting’s provenance. The painting was found to have been legitimately sold by its owner and purchased by the Museum. After questions about provenance, the Museum has hired an expert to examine its collection and fill in any gaps in the history of ownership of its works.
