Detailed and elaborate handiwork craftsmanship on the columned entrance way, side buildings, and center structure. Hidden compartments holding ritual Judaica objects. Including Shabbat candleholders, a Besamim (spice) container, a Hannukah lamp, a charity box, Yahrzeit candle holders, silver shot cups, a beautiful column-shaped Havdalah candleholder, and a matching silver beaker with designs of Kever Rachel the Meorat Machpelah and the Old City of Jerusalem.


The model stands on a wood base, covered with a silver platform fixed on a rotating Lucite display within a hard protective see-through box.

Only a handful of this model were ever made by this artist. This is a fantastic centerpiece to adorn any silver cabinet or shelf on display.
