Presenting a striking Mid-Century Modern/Brutalist style brass Etrog box (Etrog holder), standing 5.5 inches tall. This distinctive capsule or pod-shaped ritual container features a richly textured, organic surface treatment reminiscent of the historic Bezalel and mid-century Israeli artisan metalwork traditions. Designed explicitly to house and protect the sacred etrog citron fruit during the festival of Sukkot, this piece masterfully bridges traditional Jewish ritual objects with modern post-war design sensibilities.

The box features a secure, tight-fitting flush-mount lid that mirrors the lower vessel form, completing the unified organic capsule aesthetic. The interior is clean, making it entirely functional for holiday use or display. The exterior retains an authentic, untouched aged patina with beautiful tonal variation that highlights the deeply sculpted relief work.
