Immigrant Brooch
This is a Brooch. It was designed by Esther Knobel. It is dated ca. 1994 and we acquired it in 2016. Its medium is recycled tin, painted fabric, nickel silver, stainless steel wire, elastic thread. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
An immigrant from Poland, Knobel takes a lighter look at the many ways people have come to live in Israel in her immigrant series. She uses recycled metal scraps and an appropriated colorful figure from a Chinese tea box to imagine how Genghis Khan might have entered on a chariot.
