This stunning handcrafted ceramic mezuzah features the famous words from Psalm 137: "Im Eshkachech Yerushalayim, Tishkach Yemini" (If I forget Thee, O Jerusalem, May My Right Hand Lose its Skill), accented in 24K gold, symbolizing the Jewish People's deep and unbreakable bond and longing to return to Jerusalem. Below the inscription is a beautiful depiction of the Kotel (Western Wall) and Jerusalem Old City, and above is the letter 'shin' representing the name of G-d. 

Each mezuzah is delicately handcrafted and painted, as well as glazed at a high temperature, to create a truly stunning and special work of art. The mezuzah has two sticky-back labels making it easy to affix. An elegant mix of Jewish tradition and contemporary artistic design, this Mezuzah is a unique masterpiece that would make a stunning addition to your home décor.
