*The Artistry
Unique Material: Crafted from local Israeli excavated clay, connecting the piece directly to the history of the Holy Land.

*Craftsmanship: The relief features a multi-step firing process (bisque at 900°C and a final glaze at 1050°C), resulting in deep, vibrant blues and rich, crackled earth tones.

*The Subject: A stylized woman with flowing, scroll-like hair playing a stringed instrument—a classic motif in Faktor's work that evokes both biblical themes and modern abstraction.

Ceramic Plate: 18 x 12.5 cm

This item is exceptionally well-preserved. The tiered wooden frame is of high quality and adds significantly to the "ready-to-hang" retail value.
The frame is a classic "Tiered" or "Shadow Box" profile, which was the signature style for high-quality Israeli ceramic reliefs in the 1960s and 70s.
The frame uses a clever "light and dark" contrast to create depth. The outer, thickest border is stained in a Rich Walnut or Teak finish to provide a sturdy, grounded border. The inner tiers are left in a Natural Honey tone, which draws the eye inward toward the ceramic plate, making the blue glazes "pop."
It is a "Brutalist-Modern" style. The sharp, clean steps of the frame echo the architectural trends of the era, balancing the "primitive" feel of the hand-molded clay with a sophisticated, structured border.

Provenance: Having the original gold studio label (numbered #171) on the back is a major plus for collectors, as it guarantees the piece was handmade in her Israeli studio using local excavated clay.

This is a stunning find! The piece is by the renowned Israeli artist Ruth Faktor (Faktorowitsch). Her work is highly collectible, known for blending ancient Middle Eastern ceramic traditions with a mid-century modernist aesthetic.
