About the Item

This elegant silver mezuzah case, attributed to renowned Israeli silversmith David Heinz Gumbel, exemplifies his signature modernist approach. The case features a square design with a large prominent, sculptural Hebrew letter "Shin" (ש) extending outward and upward, creating a striking focal point against the hand-hammered texture of the front panel. The casing is designed with functionality in mind, as the front panel slides seamlessly into the back, securely housing a mezuzah scroll within. Combining timeless simplicity with refined craftsmanship, this mezuzah case is a beautiful representation of mid-20th-century Judaica design. Marked on the reverse side of the Mezuzah case. 2.12ozt
