1. Title: "A Historical Relic of the First World War: An Engraved 77 mm German Artillery Shell Case from the Bezalel School in Jerusalem This image showcases an intricately engraved 77 mm German artillery shell case, a unique relic from the First World War. The shell case, now a cherished piece of military history, underwent a remarkable transformation at the renowned Bezalel School in Jerusalem. The brass casing is adorned with three panels of silver and copper damascene work, each featuring the intertwined Star of David in silver and copper. The Star of David, a symbol deeply rooted in Jewish history and culture, adds an extra layer of significance to this piece. The Hebrew inscription "Bezalel/Jerusalem" is stamped on the base, proudly identifying its origin. The creation of this masterpiece can be traced back to the early 20th century when the Bezalel School, founded by Zionist artist Boris Schatz, was at the forefront of the Jewish arts and crafts movement in Jerusalem. The school's students, inspired by the rich history of their homeland, repurposed discarded military items, including artillery shells, into beautiful works of art, a practice known as Trench Art. This 77 mm German artillery shell case is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the Bezalel School students during the First World War. It stands as a symbol of resilience and hope amidst the turmoil of the war, reflecting the enduring spirit of the Jewish people and their connection to their ancestral land. The intricate engravings on this shell case serve as a reminder of the historical significance of the First World War and the role that the Bezalel School played in preserving and celebrating Jewish culture during that time.
