Tapestry of the Tomb of Rachel - Hovevey Zion
Woven tapestry, showing the Tomb of Rachel, Moses, an angel, Jewish star and a crescent. The tapestry is inscribed in Hebrew: Tomb of our mother Rachel, Hovevy Zion Company, and the quote from Psalms: "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither". Apparently, machine woven wool tapestry. Apparently, Poland or Palestine. Circa the 19th century. A square tapestry with similar designs can be found at the Israel Museum collection in Jerusalem, but an identical tapestry could not be located.
Approximately 200x44 cm. Good condition, wear.
