isaac jeheskel - relief, “the western wall (wailing wall), jerusalem” - 11 cm - silver, stone

This evocative sterling silver relief depicts the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) in Jerusalem, one of the most sacred and historically significant sites in Jewish tradition. The scene portrays figures in prayer before the ancient stones, rendered with strong expression and depth, capturing both spiritual intensity and timeless human devotion.

The artwork is made from 925 sterling silver, mounted on a solid natural stone base, and features a metal plaque engraved “Isaac Jeheskel – Israel”, identifying the Israeli artist. Isaac Jeheskel is known for relief works inspired by Jerusalem, Jewish heritage, and everyday life connected to historic locations.A distinctive element of this piece is the integrated stone fragment, traditionally associated with the Western Wall area. Such inclusions are characteristic of Israeli artworks created as symbolic connections to Jerusalem’s history and cultural identity. The object should be regarded as an artistic and cultural work rather than a religious relic.The total weight of the piece is 403 grams. As the artwork consists of a sterling silver (925) relief mounted on a stone base, the silver does not represent the full weight of the object. Based on the dimensions, construction, and visible thickness of the relief, the sterling silver content is conservatively estimated to be approximately 80–110 grams. This estimate is provided for transparency only; the piece has not been dismantled or tested, and its value lies primarily in its artistic and cultural significance rather than in melt value.The relief is in excellent condition, with no damage or repairs, and shows a natural, attractive patina that enhances the sculptural detail. A rare and expressive collectible combining fine silver craftsmanship, Israeli art, and the enduring symbolism of Jerusalem.
