EDITORS COMMENTS
This 84 mm German engraved artillery shell case, now a cherished artifact, bears witness to the unique fusion of war and creativity during the tumultuous times of World War I. The intricately designed case, measuring 84 mm in diameter, was meticulously engraved at the renowned Bezalel School in Jerusalem. Established in 1906, the Bezalel School was a pioneering institution dedicated to the revival and promotion of Jewish arts and crafts. The shell case showcases exquisite damascene work, a technique that involves inlaying patterns of brass, silver, and copper onto a base material. The central motifs of this masterpiece are the Star of David in silver and the Lion of Judah in copper and silver, symbolizing Jewish strength and resilience. The Hebrew inscription "Bezalel/Jerusalem" is stamped on the base, proudly proclaiming its origin. The creation of such intricate trench art during the war was an extraordinary testament to the human spirit's ability to find solace and meaning amidst the chaos of conflict. This piece serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the First Great Military Conflict, a time when art and craftsmanship continued to thrive, even in the most unexpected of places. The 77 mm German artillery shell case, with its intricate engravings and symbolic motifs, is a unique and evocative artifact that speaks to the enduring power of art and the indomitable human spirit. Its intricate design and historical context make it an invaluable addition to any collection focused on military history, topography, or the arts.
