12 X 17 Oil on Canvas
This acrylic diptych, sold as a pair, artfully represents the symbols of the tribes of Israel, using vibrant colors that correspond to the banners of each tribe, as derived from various historical sources. The names of the tribes are elegantly inscribed in italics in their original language, adding a layer of authenticity. Each painting features a central white square, symbolizing the Tribe of Levi, with either white/black or white/red elements. Their dual placement reflects the Tribe of Levi's unique role, as they lived among all the other tribes, often depicted yet seldom highlighted. The hand with a pitcher in one painting represents the Levites, who assisted the priests in purification rituals. Adjacent to this, the hands in the other painting represent the Kohanim (priests, descendants of Aaron), symbolizing their sacred duty to bless the people of Israel. The decorative style of this diptych will add a touch of magic and secret symbolism to any space, enhancing the ambience with its thoughtful design and arrangement. This artwork beautifully captures the interconnectedness of the tribes and the pivotal role of the Levitical and priestly families within the community.
