EDITORS COMMENTS
This 79 mm German artillery shell case, engraved at the renowned Bezalel School in Jerusalem during the early 20th century, showcases the remarkable fusion of artistic creativity and historical significance. The intricate damascene work, a traditional Middle Eastern metalworking technique, is demonstrated through the harmonious combination of silver and copper. The brass floral pattern, meticulously engraved, adds an exquisite layer of detail to the piece. The Bezalel School, founded in 1906 by Boris Schatz, was a pioneering institution in the fields of arts and crafts in Jerusalem. It aimed to promote local artists and craftsmen, integrating traditional techniques with modern artistic expression. This engraved artillery shell case is a testament to the school's innovative approach and the unique cultural exchange that took place during this period. Despite its ornate appearance, this shell case bears a faint crack in its base, a reminder of its origins as a military artifact from World War I or I (WW1 or WWI). The topographical history of this piece is as intriguing as its artistic merit. It serves as a poignant reminder of the historical context in which it was created, a time of conflict and transformation. The 77 mm German artillery shell case is an exceptional example of trench art, a genre of art produced during times of war, often from repurposed military materials. This piece, with its rich cultural heritage and intricate craftsmanship, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring power of art.
