[TEXTILE] CROCHET WORK - Star of David Coasters

Late 19th cent - Early 20th century. (approx. 80 mm point-to-point across star) The Star of David, referred to as the Magen David, constitutes a six-pointed star resulting from the intersection of two equilateral triangles. This symbol carries profound significance within Judaism, encapsulating the identity and historical legacy of the Jewish Community.

Crocheting has a long, established history in Jewish culture, heavily tied to making religious garments. Crafting is an integral part of Jewish culture. In the Hebrew Bible, ancient Israelites wrote about many craft activities: embroidery, weaving, wood carving, and jewelry making. As time passed, Jews expanded the principle of hiddur mitzvah, or the "enhancement of a commandment" - otherwise known as "make it beautiful." These Twelve elaborate, detailed, and delicately crocheted coasters utilize a fine, polished cotton - a beautiful home adornment. Very good. Occasional light spotting. Item #5043
