Student Curator: Ashley M Chagall Window Tray 4 x 6 inch(es) , melamine Israel, 1977 Great Grandmother Selma This beautiful rectangular shaped white tray with raised sides has photos of some of the Chagall windows at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, Israel. The back of the tray is stamped with "Melabel produced for Palphot." The tray is 4" x 6" and is very colorful, and includes green, white, brown, yellow and blue stained glass. A wire piece is attached to the top of the tray for hanging on the wall. In 1977, my mother's grandmother, Nana Selma, went to Israel to celebrate her grandson's Bar Mitzvah. On their trip, they went to Hadassah Hospital and purchased this small tray as a souvenir. It hung on my great-grandmother's wall until she passed away. Then, my mother was given it to display in our home. This tray is quite meaningful to my mother because she has four generations of Hadassah women in her family, and she remembers her own mother doing a needlepoint of the Chagall windows. |
