About the Item

Early 20th century Bezalel Jerusalem wooden tray inlaid with Jerusalem stone and mother of pearl. The large tray is carved with the Seven Species on its margins, while the center is inlaid with Jerusalem stone plaques shaped as the Tablets of the Law with inscribed blessings - "HaMotzih" and "Boreh Pri HaGafen". Around this image are inlaid pieces of mother of pearl. An inlaid piece of mother of pearl shaped as a Star of David appears below the Tablets, with an engraved inscription: "If I Forget Thee, O Jerusalem, Let my Right Hand Forget its Skill" (Hebrew). Inlaid all around in a circle, are Jerusalem stone plaques with the symbols of the Tribes and around them blue wooden plaques with the words "Eat your bread with joy…" (Hebrew) and mother of pearls plaques decorated with views of the Temple Mount, Rachel's Tomb, Tower of David, Cave of the Patriarchs and Bezalel buildings. The catalogue "Early Israeli Arts and Crafts, Bezalel Treasures from the Allan B. Slifka Collection" by Chaya Benjamin (Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 2008) features a similar plate created after a sketch by Ze'ev Raban (p. 66).
