Yael Elkayam Song of Songs Framed Wall Hanging

Size: 23cm x 23cm/9.06" x 9.06"

This original and wonderfully creative piece is replete with delicate designs and intricate detailing. It uses text from the biblical book Shir Hashirim, or Song of Songs, which is a love poem written by King Solomon. At the center of this piece sit several wildflowers which have been pressed dry and layered together, and enhanced with glowing Swarovski crystals. This is surrounded by rings of delicate pink and red painted flowers which fill a decorative blue border. This gorgeous piece would make a su[erb gift for the person you love! 

The four outermost borders feature the words "Shir Hashirim Asher Le'Shlomo. Yishakeini Menishikot Pihu Ki Tovim Dodecha Miyayin. Lereiach Shmanecha Tovim Sheman Turak Shimcha, Al Ken Alamot Ahuvecha" - A song of songs, which is Solomon's. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, because his love is better than wine. Because of your fragrant oils, your name is Flowing Oil; therefore young women loved you. 

The ring of words in the middle of the piece say "Mashkeni Achareicha Natzura Heviani Hamelech Chadarav Nagila Venismecha Bach" - Draw me in; we will run after you. The king has brought me to his chambers. We will celebrate and rejoice in you. 

This piece includes the frame shown in the picture, which is Perspex-fronted for long-lasting shine and durability.
