About the Item
A Modern Silver Mezuzah Holder by Arie Ofir made in Israel Circa 2000.

Professor Arie Ofir was born in Israel in 1939. He graduated from the Bezalel School of Art in Jerusalem 1964 and continued studying with the renowned silversmith D.H.Gumble. He studied for two more years at "George Jensen" in Copenhagen, with a scholarship from the Danish Ministry of Education. In 1968 Ofir opened his studio in Jerusalem and in 1972 became head of the Gold- and Silver-smithing Department at the Bezalel Academy for Art and Design in Jerusalem. He headed the department for twelve years and was appointed full Professor of Fine Art in 1982.
Ofir's works of art have been displayed in many well-known museums, including the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, The Victoria & Albert Museum in London, The Jewish Museums in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt
Mezuzah Holder is made in a cylindrical fashion with a round curved plate applied to the front.
At the center is a sharp pierced letter "Shin" backed by a multicolored plate applied behind it which gives the letter a more prominent presence.
