This color lithograph is a striking reproduction of Marc Chagall’s stained-glass masterpiece, The Tribe of Asher. Originally created for the Abbell Synagogue in Jerusalem, the composition is characterized by its deep forest greens and vibrant olive tones, which symbolize the biblical prosperity and agricultural abundance of the tribe. The central imagery features a traditional seven-branched menorah surrounded by flowing olive branches and celestial birds, motifs frequently used by Chagall to represent peace and spiritual vitality.

The work showcases the artist’s unique ability to blend sacred Jewish tradition with modern expressionism. Floating Hebrew text is integrated into the rhythmic, paneled structure of the image, mimicking the leaded lines of the original glass windows. Despite its intimate size, the lithograph retains the luminous quality and monumental energy of the full-scale architectural work, making it a significant piece for collectors of mid-century modern art and Judaica.
