This outstanding piece of jewelry will never go unnoticed or unremarked!  The gorgeous intricate silver design, together with the iridescent genuine ancient Roman glass make this an ornament like none other!  It can be used as a pin or brooch, or as a pendant (chain not included).

The original limestone plaque, carved in a gabled architectural design and bearing typical Jewish symbols, represents a wall in a synagogue.  The main element of the composition is the imposing central door or niche, flanked by two lateral doorways, in front of which stand two menorahs.

 

The base of the plaque is decorated with a frieze of three birds, an example of the fairly common use of animal decoration in Jewish religious art.

 

The shard of genuine ancient Roman glass in this piece originate form fragments of glass vessels discovered in Israel, in the vicinity of the Mediterranean Sea shore.  The finely wrought glass bottles and jars, dated 1st - 6th century C.E., were created in ancient Israel by craftsmen working with a blow-pipe at the glass furnace.  Over the centuries these glass vessels gained additional charm from the iridescent coloring caused by the weathering of the glass.

Note: To preserve patina do not allow glass to come in contact with water.

This item comes with a certificate of authenticity from the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Enclosed is a short description of its historical background in English and Hebrew.
