Buckle, 2 x 2 1/2 x 5/16 in. ( x x cm), Silver, Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, is one of the most revered holidays of the Jewish year. Traditionally, Orthodox Jewish worshippers have worn a white gown on this day to symbolize purity and the hope of their sins being absolved. The only adornment of such gowns could be belts with special silver belt buckles, which are engraved with either biblical quotes or names, as may be demonstrated by the center inscription of this buckle which says the name 'Shoshana'
