A. Merzer (Bezalel School), Joseph and Potiphar's Wife. Framed repoussé metal relief depicting the biblical scene of Joseph and Potiphar's Wife, rendered with expressive figural modeling and dramatic movement. The relief is housed within a carved and incised wooden frame decorated with Egyptian Revival motifs, including winged symbols and hieroglyphic-style figures, characteristic of Bezalel School design vocabulary of the early 20th century.
The relief is faintly signed A. Merzer at the lower edge and is attributed to an artist associated with the Bezalel School, Jerusalem. The reverse retains a hanging cord and original backing. Surface wear, patina, and minor age-related imperfections consistent with early Bezalel metalwork.
