A remarkable collection of silver and wood spice boxes by Jerusalem artist Hana Behar Paneth illustrates her lifelong fascination with the foliage and plants of Israel, combining contemporary craftsmanship with traditional fruit and floral motifs. Paneth studied under the great Israeli silversmiths Ludwig Wolpert, David Gumbel and Menahem Berman at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem. Her work is found in public and private collections around the world.
