Pal-Bell was instrumental in defining the \"Neo-Classic\" Israeli style, blending traditional motifs with Modernist sensibilities. This piece features a central high-relief medallion depicting a laborer harvesting grain, encircled by the Hebrew inscription from Psalm 126:5: \"Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.\" The iconic turquoise-green verdigris patina is a hallmark of Pal-Bell’s mid-century production, representing the connection between the land of Israel and its ancient history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e• Maker\/Artist: Pal-Bell Co.
