Here are some more information for Netsuke God:
In Judaism, the Seder Plate is one of beauty and deep symbolic significance. The Seder Plate officially embraces a ritualistic 15 steps of specific symbols and meanings that must be appropriately performed.
The Karpas of the Seder:
There is a step by step serving of a variety of food that can be served upon the Seder Plate. First come vegetables such as boiled potatoes, celery, parsley and so forth, but no bitter herbs can be served. Since Passover is the celebration of the Jewish nation's birth, there must be the Spring festival celebration with vegetables being the rebirth and rejuvenation symbol most appropriately to use. So the vegetables, also referred to as Karpas in the Jewish wording, is a must in the Borei Pri Ha'Adamah blessing.
The Marror and the Chazeret of the Seder:
The Marror & Chazeret actually are the herbs that run bitter to symbolize the Hebrew slaves that were literally embittered by slavery. It is common to use Horseradish as the Marror and for Chazeret, lettuce of Romaine is used..
The Charoset of the Seder:
The Charoset represents the extreme labors of the Jewish people and there is a blending of dates, nuts, cinnamon, apples and wine.
The Zero'ah of the Seder:
The Zero'ah once was the Pascal Lamb that was used in the Temple on the Passover eve, and it would be prepared for the last part of the Seder meal. But now it is more common to place upon the Seder plate as the commemorating offerings to be the bones of the chicken with some meat still remaining on the bones.
The Beitzah of the Seder:
The Beitzah is the second offering that is referred to as the Chagigah. This was when the main coarse of the Seder meal was brought to the temple for all. In the meal today, this can be egg that is roasted to symbolize the morning and a reminder of the Temple destruction.
Along with the wine that a sip is taken with each of the above symbolist foods, there is also the Kiddush, the Maggid (telling the story of Exodus), the Birkat Hamazon (the meal's after grace), and the Hallel, which is the conclusion.
With all of this being what the official silver Judaica plate is used for, and the 15 steps to go along with all of this from 1 through 15, are the Kadesh, the Urchatz, the Karpas, the Yachatz, the Maggid, the Rachtzah, the Motzi, the Matzah, the Marror, the Korech, the Shulchan Orech, the Tzafun, the Barech, the Hallel, and the Nirtzah.

Animal Netsuke - Caught in Action
There are numerous Jewish homes that put a Mezuzah on every door both inside and on the outside entrances and exits, while some homes only display a Mezuzah on the outside entrances.
A Mezuzah has many defined steps that have to be followed as per the religious Jewish Laws on how to protect the 'Halacha', which is the Mezuzah scroll. There are Jewish Laws on how to position the Mezuzah, the doorways of where to locate the Mezuzah, and how often to check the Mezuzah. The silver Mezuzahs are purely hand-crafted oblong cases styled in many designs and Mezuzah covers do need special care.
There are other materials which are used to handcraft a Mezuzah besides silver.
A Mezuzah is a beautiful handmade silver Judaica object, which contains the written Jewish prayers by a scribe on a parchment in Hebrew. It is hung by a nail on the door post of Jewish homes as a constant reminder that God is in your thoughts at all times. The Mezuzah is a physical reminder to keep God in mind as you come and go to and from your blessed home. There are numerous Jewish homes that put a Mezuzah on every door both inside and on the outside entrances and exits, while some homes only display a Mezuzah on the outside entrances.
A Mezuzah has many defined steps that have to be followed as per the religious Jewish Laws on how to protect the 'Halacha', which is the Mezuzah scroll. There are Jewish Laws on how to position the Mezuzah, the doorways of where to locate the Mezuzah, and how often to check the Mezuzah. The religious Jewish Law states that the Mezuzah Scroll must have two covers, with one being the protective material of a wax paper or any type of greaseproof and waterproof paper. The second cover would be of round tube like casing made of silver for the rolled up scroll to be securely put into. The silver Mezuzahs are purely hand-crafted oblong cases styled in many designs and Mezuzah covers do need special care.
When using a Silver Mezuzah make sure that it is of the right size so that there is enough breathing room for the scroll, as not to damage it. The other concern is problems of oxidation of silver which may damage the inner scroll, if care is not taken. Make sure to polish your silver Mezuzahs often, but remove the scroll first.
There are other materials which are used to handcraft a Mezuzah besides silver. The main point of consideration before choosing the metal mezuzah is whether it are going to be placed outside or inside the home. When placing the Mezuzah outdoors the materials must be able to weather extreme climate appropriate. Materials such as silver, gold, stone, wood or any whitish tone of protection should be considered so as to deflect strong sun light, unlike darker colors or transparent materials. Moisture is also an important concern, if there is a lot of rain, moist humidity or condensation would start affecting the Mezuzah on the outside or the parchments inside.
