Ben-Zion Vintage 925 Silver Figurine - $65 (Crawfordville)
QR Code Link to This Post
This is a Vintage 925 Sterling Silver Judaica Figurine Sculpture Fiddler Ben-Zion Israel. I have read/researched this is from the 1960's from other auction & seller sources. i do not know if that is true, but I did see that description from multiple sites. That being said, I am sure it is nonetheless vintage.
It seems the artist responsible for the collection from where this figurine comes from is Ben-Zion Weinman, who was a Jewish American artist (1897 - 1987). I can not confirm this, but all auction sites post these as his work.
I don't know when or where these were sold in the past. The back of the figurine is stamped 925 s.c. It has a lovely patina, but I'm sure could be polished back to it's original silver hue. Approximate dimensions are 3 ¼” tall x 1 ¾” wide. This one also comes with the original box.
The last picture I found online showing a complete collection of these figurines. No, I don't have all of these pieces, just this fiddler.
Cheers!
