EDITORS COMMENTS
This 78 mm German artillery shell case, engraved at the renowned Bezalel School in Jerusalem, showcases a unique blend of history and artistry. The brass casing is intricately decorated with vignettes of Rachel's Tomb and Absalom's Tomb, accompanied by animals, grapes, and vine leaves. The Hebrew inscription, translated into English, commemorates the liberation of Jerusalem on the 24th of Kislev, 5678 (9th December 1917). The word "Bezalel" is engraved just above the base of the shell case. This piece of trench art was created during the chaotic and transformative period of World War I, and serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of the people of Jerusalem. The intricate engravings and historical significance make this a valuable artifact, providing a glimpse into the rich history of the region during a pivotal time in its past. The Bezalel School, founded in 1906, played a significant role in the revival of Jewish arts and crafts in Palestine, and this shell case is a prime example of their masterful work. This rare and intriguing piece of history is not to be missed.
