Israel - Bronze medal - "And there was light"
"And there was Light" is a unique medal designed by artist Yaacov Agam. It is an original work of art in a medal, the first combination of its kind consisting of a hardened, solid metal with light-radiating matter. Hold the medal up opposite a light focus, and the "And there was Light" medal lives up to its name - a dazzling Star of David appears like magic from the transparent inset in the center of the medal. Agam gives the Star of David concept a unique spiritulal content. For the first time, the words "A light unto the nations" receive a truly visual significance.
Obverse: In the center, transparent light- adiating matter in which a dazzling Star of David appears when held against a source of light. Hebrew verse: "And there was Light", (Genesisl :3). Semi-circular curves characterizing the candelabrum, expressing "the world above and the world below", "branches and roots".
Reverse: Spiral, expressing contraction and the secret of "Zimsum". Signature of artist.
