Memorial Shard Tablets for Eugene O'Bryan. Wooden memorial plaque in the form of the Tablets of the Law, commemorating Eugene O'Bryan, dated 1993. The front is richly decorated with applied metal and engraved elements, including Stars of David at the upper corners, laurel branches framing the sides, and a central French-language inscription recording the name Eugenie Brami (Eugene O'Bryan), noting death on 15 December 1942 at the age of 43. The lower register is embellished with a metal floral motif and a bird in flight, symbolically rendered, adding a poignant, devotional character to the piece.
Constructed from dark-stained wood with rounded tablet tops, the plaque retains metal hanging loops at the upper edge. The reverse is plain wood, showing age wear, surface abrasions, paint remnants, and a central hole consistent with mounting or hanging. Overall condition reflects handling and age, with wear to the wood surface and metal elements, consistent with a commemorative object intended for display or ritual remembrance.
