Original manuscript on vellum text arranged in 11 lines in Hebrew script scroll housed in an elaborately decorated silver filigree case unstamped scroll height 310 mm case height 140 mm engraved with 'Bezalel Jerusalem' signature in Hebrew.<br /> A beautiful example of a Bezalel Megillah housed in a silver case with elaborate filigree surmounted by a crown.<br /><br />The Bezalel school was founded in 1906 in Jerusalem by the artist and professor Boris Schatz and was the first art school to be established in the Holy Land in the 20th century. Schatz who discussed his vision of opening an art school in the Land of Israel with Herzl when the two met in Vienna<br />in 1903 chose to call the school Bezalel after the biblical artist Bezalel ben Uri ben Hur mentioned in the book of Exodus as the artist chosen by God to build the Tabernacle HaMishkan in Hebrew. According to the scripture this artist worked in silver gold copper stone and wood. By founding the school Schatz aimed to establish a national style of art blending classical Jewish European and Middle-Eastern traditions. <br /><br />In addition to traditional sculpture and painting training the school ran craft workshops that produced<br />decorative objects in silver leather wood brass and fabric which were sold at exhibitions in Europe and the United States. Schatz's school was closed in 1929 and then reopened in the mid 1930s as the New Bezalel. In 1955 the school received its official academic acclaim and today the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design is Israel's national school of art as well as its oldest higher education institution.
