Judaic Stained Glass Framed Needle Point Bell Collection

Inspired by the beauty of stained glass windows, this framed needlepoint from the Bell Collection depicts a vibrant Jewish-themed design featuring a seven-branched menorah, stylized Hebrew lettering, and colorful abstract motifs arranged in a windowpane composition. Bold geometric lines and vivid colors recreate the appearance of stained glass while showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of hand-stitched needlepoint.

The seven-branched menorah is one of Judaism's oldest and most enduring symbols. Originally described in the Hebrew Bible and used in the Tabernacle and the ancient Temples in Jerusalem, it represents divine light, wisdom, and the enduring presence of God. Today, it remains a powerful symbol of Jewish heritage, faith, and tradition.

Beautifully presented in a gold-tone frame, this decorative piece makes an eye-catching addition to a home, office, or place of worship. Combining traditional Jewish symbolism with textile artistry, it is a wonderful piece for collectors of needlework, religious art, and Judaica.

Slight tear to the paper dust cover on the back of the frame. See photos for details.
