Here is the custom mezuzah I created for the front door of the new building for the National Museum of American Jewish History at Independence Mall in Philadelphia, PA. What an honor! I used the architecture of the building and their logo for my inspiration.  The piece is made of etched fine and sterling silver, copper and terra cotta from the new building.  It is approximately 9" long.  If you have any questions about the piece, call me at 415-682-7128, or email me at info@aimeegolant.com . 



For those of you who are interested in the process I used to make the piece, here are some images:
