Miniature Torah scroll, the foundational work of Judaism containing the Five Books of Moses. 
The text is handwritten on parchment in Hebrew, as is traditional for a kosher scroll. 
A gold plaque indicates this specific piece commemorates a Bar Mitzvah for "Gabriel Kahn" on October 20, 1990. 
The Hebrew date is noted as "2 Cheshvan 5751", corresponding to the Parashat Noach (weekly Torah portion of Noah). 
Torah scrolls are the most sacred Jewish ritual objects and are typically housed in an ark within a synagogue. 
Approximately 15” high by 12 3/4” wide by 3”deep
