About the Item
This remarkable mezuzah case, crafted in Israel around 1950, stands out as a striking departure from traditional designs. Embracing a unique flat, gateway-inspired form, it captures the symbolic passage into holiness and protection.
The mezuzah's front is adorned with intricate silver filigree, masterfully fashioned into foliate scrolls, delicate heart shapes, and fine rail-like details, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship of mid-century Israeli silversmiths. At the top, three turquoise-colored stones are carefully set at each peak of the arched gateway, adding a vibrant, regal touch to the piece.
The mezuzah scroll is housed within by gently swinging open the front panel, designed like a protective gate. This innovative design leaves the scroll partially visible through the less densely woven filigree, allowing a glimpse of the sacred text within. With its distinctive style, detailed artistry, and symbolic form, this mezuzah case captures the essence of mid-20th-century Judaica.
