Bezalel Rug, Israel, Early 20th Century - Antique Bezalel, Israel,circa 1930 Produced in Jerusalem between the two world wars, Bezalelpieces generally present established rug designs from various cultures, but with a distinctive Jewish or Israeli twist, and this is no exception. But the border is full of surprises. The stars within the octagon are Stars of David, and the extra panels or elems at the top and the bottom contain more of these stars alternating horizontally with menorahs. The border also contains an inscription: "Bezalel, Jerusalem."
