. In celebration of Israel's
25th Anniversary, Fortunoff has commissioned Professor Kurt J. Matzdorl, the eminent silversmith
and designer of ceremonial objects, to interpret in silver the history of this great nation.This
exquisite solid sterling silver plate (1 rin diameter, 14.375 Troy ounces), is the result of his endeavors.
It is executed in Reed & Barton's exclusive Damascene process...a rich blending of silver, bronze
and copper.This work of art is destined to become one of the most sought-after collector's

items in America.

Here's how Professor Matzdorf tells his story:
