EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Striking Symbol of Hope: An Engraved 87 mm German Artillery Shell Case from the Bezalel School in Jerusalem 2. Description: This photograph showcases an intricately engraved 87 mm German artillery shell case, a unique piece of trench art created at the renowned Bezalel School in Jerusalem. The shell case, originally a weapon of war, has been transformed into a beautiful work of art through the skillful application of damascene work, inlaid silver and copper, brass etching, and Hebrew lettering. 3. Background: The Bezalel School was founded in 1906 by Boris Schatz, an artist and educator, to promote arts and crafts in Jerusalem. During World War I, as European art schools were disrupted, the school became a refuge for European artists and craftsmen seeking to continue their work. Among the items they created were these engraved artillery shell cases, using discarded ammunition from the battlefields. 4. Design: The centerpiece of this artwork is a date tree, symbolizing renewal and growth, surmounting a brass etched vignette of Rachel's Tomb, a significant Jewish pilgrimage site. Two Lions of Judah, the symbol of the tribe of Judah and the Jewish people, flank the design on each side. Hebrew lettering, referring to the text from Jeremiah, Chapter 31, Verse 15, is inscribed on the shell case. The verse, "Thus says the Lord: Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work shall be rewarded says the Lord, and they shall come again from the Land of the Enemy," offers a message of hope and resilience. 5. Conclusion: This engraved 87 mm German artillery shell case, a testament to the transformative power of art, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. The intricate design and historical significance make it a captivating and meaningful addition to any collection.
