The artwork is a relief sculpture titled “Relief sculpture of Moses in Jerusalem,” created by the artist Eric Gill. This sculpture belongs to the Art Deco movement and is categorized within the sculpture genre.
The artwork depicts Moses, a prominent figure from religious texts, with notable details characteristic of the Art Deco style. Moses is shown holding the two tablets of the Ten Commandments in his hand, symbolizing the moment of his receipt of the divine laws. The relief captures the seriousness and gravitas of the scene with meticulously carved folds in Moses’ robe and a dignified expression on his face. The use of clean lines and geometric framing around the sculpture accentuates the Art Deco aesthetic, blending historical iconography with modernist design principles. This piece, set into a stone wall, integrates seamlessly with its architectural surroundings and stands as a testament to the fusion of religious theme and contemporary artistic movements.
