Built in 1568 AD, the great scrolls of the old testament--the copper plates in which the grants of privilege made by the Cochin rulers were recorded, and the exquisite Chinese hand painted tiles are of interest. No two tiles are alike and are two hundred years old. There are also several finely wrought gold and silver crowns gifted to the synagogue by various patrons. Known for mid 18th century hand printed, willow pattern floor tiles from Canton in China, a clock tower, hebrew inscriptions on stone slabs, ancient scripts on copper plates etc.
