Magen David Made From Branches
Magen David Made From Branches appears on a hand made improvised gate erected in 1900 for a national celebration in Rehovot. I noticed that in these B &W photos from the beginning of the last century the stars of David are usually hand made while most of the current Jewish stars are industrial products made by designers.

Reminds me of a maypole somewhat. Always have loved things made with natural materials.
