This hand-signed studio piece is crafted in enameled copper, a technique in which powdered glass is fused to metal at high temperatures, resulting in a luminous, richly textured surface.

The abstract figural composition is often interpreted as a stylized view of Jerusalem, rendered in deep cobalt, teal, and metallic tones. Raised enamel and glass bead accents create a dimensional, jewel-like effect, catching light beautifully. These elements are often associated with symbolic representations of light in Judaica and Israeli art, adding both visual depth and cultural meaning.

This piece reflects the expressive nature of mid-20th century Israeli studio craftsmanship, where modernist design, material experimentation, and cultural storytelling intersect.

Hand-signed on the reverse, it is a distinctive example of kibbutz-era enamel work—ideal for collectors of mid-century modern design, Judaica, or studio art.
