While Jewish history has chronicled Moshe Maimonides, relatively little is known about his brother David. David was a merchant; with a success international jewel business, tragically died in 1170, in a shipwreck on his way to India. Among the treasures lost were letters between the Maimonides brothers. The piece depicts a plaster prayer shawl, from the shipwreck, the last remains of this great legacy.
