take the time to look at item number 371282737537 , which shows a seller that has a shell vase THAT IS NOT BEZALEL (even though he says it is in the title), at the price of \"$3,000 or best offer\".
11 inches high. Some dents to the top as seen in the photo, but no splits or cracks. Stunning engraving and acid-etching of Hebrew, English, Tower of David in Jerusalem with birds overhead, Star of David with Ten Commandments inside it, and panoramic view of the entire city of Jerusalem in a band around the bottom of the shell.
English at top reads \"Conquest of Jerusalem 1917\", the Hebrew translates to \"Remember the Conquest of Jerusalem December 9th, 1917\". Then below that, the scene is titled in FRENCH (?!) \"Tour De David\" (Tower of David), and in Hebrew \"Jerusalem Tower of David\".
Signed in Hebrew initials: RAS = Raphael Avraham Shalem (born 1888, studied in Bezalel during the years 1913-1918). Last photo is from \"Bezalel by Schatz\", exhibition catalogue, 1983, with another shell with the same design and signature.
