Mizrach / Mizrah handpainted and gilded Judaica. Origin and date unknown, but presumed European.<BR>Measures just under 10inches in diameter.<BR>Pg 76 of Jewish Art by G Cohen Grossman says: Placed on the eastern wall, the mizrah serves as a symbolic orientation toward Jerusalem in remembrance of the Temple. therefore, many mizrahs include visual and literary references to the Temple buildings and implements. <BR>This Mizrach has a border with the names and symbols of the 12 tribes/sons of Jacob. Paintings of Moses and Aaron, the Lion of Judah, the Sacrifice of Isaac as well as the Tabernacle in the Temple with the tablets guarded by the Cherubs. Scripts stating the basic tenets of Judaism. <BR>Mark on the back is very interesting. The original factory mark has been obliterated by the artist's mark, which covers it entirely.<BR>Condition is excellent. No chips/cracks/damage of any sort.
