The scroll is only used once a year, so it is stored carefully to protect it from damages. The intention to protect scrolls created the shapes of the megillah cases, in which scrolls can be stored securely and respectfully. The parchment containing the text of Esther’s book is rolled inside the silver cylindrical body. The end of the scroll can be fixed to the shaft protruding from the cylindrical body, which allows the megillah to wind up.
