Exquisite 1950 Handmade Silver Filigree Mezuzah by Artist Zadok

About the Item

This stunning, large handmade Mezuzah case was crafted in Jerusalem in the 1950s by the renowned artist Zadok. Made of sterling silver, as marked with the 925 stamp, the piece showcases intricate filigree work with delicate floral and geometric patterns, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship of traditional silversmithing. At the center, the Hebrew letter "Shin" (ש) is prominently featured, symbolizing one of the names of God, "Shaddai," traditionally seen on Mezuzah cases. The domed top and bottom finials, along with the ornate lattice design, create a beautiful interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail. This Mezuzah is not only a significant Judaica piece but also a remarkable work of art. Its impressive size and intricate filigree make it a rare collector’s item, representing both religious tradition and the rich artistic heritage of Jerusalem.
