🔍 zoom in to examine the exquisite detail on this Ukrainian mizrah from 1877 by Israel Dov Rosenbaum. The hi-res image found on our website was inspiration for the background pattern of a portrait in the collection by contemporary artist Kehinde Wiley. As a Jewish ritual object, the papercut points east to the direction of Israel. “Mizrah” is also an acronym composed of the initial letters for the Hebrew phrase “from this side the spirit of life.” This inscription appears in the four corners of the central panel of this papercut, indicating that it functions as a mizrah.

Although located in the heart of Chongging, one of China's mega cities, Luohan Temple was constructed over 1000 years ago. Its ancient corridors lead to worn stone depictions of the Buddha while its wooden halls wafts with incense and are adorned with hundreds of local colourful deities.
