A Silver Filigree Mezuzah Case, Israel Circa 1980

About the Item

A Silver Filigree Mezuzah Case from Israel circa 1980, exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship of Judaica art. In Israel during the 1980s, there was a resurgence of interest in traditional Jewish craftsmanship combined with modern design sensibilities. Filigree work, known for its lacy patterns and meticulous detail, was particularly valued for its ability to adorn religious objects such as Mezuzah cases. Oval-shaped with two rings applied above and below, this Mezuzah case is entirely made out of filigree with foliate lacy patterns and heart-shaped detail. a prominent letter shin is applied to the front of the case as is normally found on Mezuzah cases This Filigree Mezuzah case serves not only a practical function of housing the sacred parchment scroll but also symbolizes a connection to Jewish heritage and spirituality. It reflects the creative evolution of Judaica art in Israel, blending traditional techniques with contemporary artistic expressions.
