    Description

    DESCRIPTION:
    Very rare and beautiful enamel on copper plaque for Chagall's Jerusalem Windows - this is the design for the Tribe of Dan. The plaque has an arched top and measures 5 x 8 inches. It is mounted to a red cloth backing and is housed in an arched top wood frame that can stand by itself on a shelf or be hung on a wall (although the metal hanger on back will need to be replaced). The wood frame measures about 9 x 12". There is a silver metal badge on the base with the artists name "MARC CHAGALL", and a paper sticker on back that reads "Made in Spain" and another one that reads "Marc Chagall No. 16".
    The "Jerusalem Windows" were 12 stained glass windows Chagall designed for The Synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center. They represent the twelve sons of the Patriarch Jacob, from whom came the Twelve tribes of Israel. Chagall's images are populated by floating figures of animals, flowers, fish, and numerous Jewish symbols.
    There were a series of lithographs (authorized by Chagall) done in the early 1960s that reproduced all 12 designs of the Jerusalem Windows. The lithographs are fairly common to find, but I have not been able to another enamel on copper plaque like this one, of any of the stained glass window designs. The colors, workmanship, and fidelity to the original window design (of this plaque) are all superb.
    The enamel plaque is in excellent condition with no chips or scratches. The arched wood frame has some loss of veneer on the sides (see pictures).
