This red velvet box inscribed with Sultan Abdülhamid's (1876-1909) tughra (a calligraphic monogram, seal, or signature of a sultan), was presented to the Chief Rabbi of Bursa Moşe Ben Habib Efendi (Rabbi Moşe Benhabib) during Abdülhamid's reign. In the box located are the Order of the Medjidie (Mecidiye Nişanı - instituted in 1851 by Sultan Abdulmejid I) and the seal with words "Hüdavendigar (Allah'ın hediyesi) Hahambaşı vekili Musa Bin Habip, 1321 (Roughly translated to "God's Gift Deputy Chief Rabbi Musa Bin Habip")".
