Bezalel School of the Arts Palestine Repoussé Relief Plaque Shepherd Playing Music to Sheep




Such a beautiful piece of work. It was created at the Bezalel School in Palestine, sometime soon after the turn of the last century. This lovely repoussé relief depicts a shepherd playing a flute like instrument for three sheep while relaxing under a tree. A very serene pastoral image.
The outside edge of the plaque measures approximately 5 1/4 inches wide by 6 inches tall and approximately an inch deep. The brass metal plaque measures 3 5/8“ x 4 1/2“. The condition is very, very good but being over 100 years old there is the occasional scratch to the wood. The metal plaque could be polished to a bright shine if the new owner so desired but some people prefer the patina that comes with age. I leave all patina decisions to the new owner. Please see all of the photographs as they are part of the description.

The Bezalel school was an art movement in Palestine in the late Ottoman and British Mandate periods. Named for the Bezalel Art School, predecessor of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, it has been described as "a fusion of oriental art and Art Nouveau."
