Artist's Description:

I have always been inspired and enthralled with the art of the traditional spice box used in the Havdalah (taking leave of the Shabbat) ceremony. A beautiful example of Hidur Mitzvah (beautification of a Divine commandment), it arouses a tranquil and peaceful mood from having just finished the Shabbat.

The original Hebrew calligraphy is reproduced using the giclee fine art printing process. The papercut spice box is crafted as a lasercut reproduction of the original hand executed papercut. Hand-applied gouache and hand-made colored background paper complete the piece.

Available with gold (pictured) or silver gouache. Please let us know your preference when ordering.
