World Map - Silver Plaque

This cloverleaf map of the world, showing Jerusalem in the center, is a replica, designed by Israeli artist Miriam Hirszowicz.

This piece was created from sterling silver by an electroforming process- a sophisticated contemporary art using electrochemical means to form a hollow metallic body.

~ This unique artwork should be treated with care and not be exposed to extreme heat. Gentle buffing with silver cloth can always quickly restore the high gloss. Dropping the piece can result in dents.
