Early 20th Century Silver Spice Tower by Yehia Yemini, Bezalel School Jerusalem
Located in New York, NY
The Havdala ceremony at the conclusion of the Sabbath features a special blessing over a spice receptacle. Of the numerous forms of such receptacles, the most common are tower-shaped, usually emulating the towers of European cities. Yehia Yemini transcended this tradition with his spice container which echoes the Yemenite bridal headdress. A simple and highly integrated conic structure, it consists entirely of tight filigree lace and numerous silver balls interwoven in undulating ornamentation.
The rim of the base is engraved with Hebrew "Bezalel Jerusalem".
Yehia Yemini Born in 1897 into a family of San'a silversmiths, Yehia Yemini reached Jerusalem with his family at the young age of three. When Bezalel founded its Silver Department In 1908, Yemini became one of its employees, and helped other Yemenites to forge Bezalel's unique synthesis of East and West. After the dismissals of 1914, Yemini joined three groups of Jerusalem craftsmen who specialized in silver crafting in the manner of Bezalel: "Keter," "Kav Lavan," and "Sharar" (directed respectively by Shneior, Ossanovitch and Rabinovitz). Yemini was exceptionally talented and skilled in blending the traditions of Yemenite silver...
