- Scope & content
- Square base with a round foot at each corner. Attached to each side is an upward pointing arch, with openwork detailing. Coming from each corner, and arching up towards the centre, is a rod with thin incised lines. Attached to a rod, on the left side, is a 'JCR tag'. In the centre, where all 4 rods connect, is a 6-petal flower, arching downwards. The rods continue upwards, and flare out at the top, to support the square metal base. Resting on the base is a cubed cage with openwork detaling on all 4 sides; a window is cut out of one of the sides. The top of the cube is solid metal. Resting on top is a 4-sided triangle. Arches are cut out of the bottom of each side, with open work detailing just above the arch. Another downward arching flower is at the top of the triangle, with an upward arching flower placed just above. A metal rod goes from the 1st metal platform, through the cube and triangle, and continues to the top point. The structure is topped with a metal flag, with 2 points along the fly-end; it is loose on the rod, allowing it to swivel. Narrative: Jewish Cultural Reconstruction, Inc. (JCR) was established in 1947 to deal with the collection and redistribution of heirless Jewish cultural property.
