Story / Additional InfoThis work represents a powerful expression of the origins of the mortal precepts that guide both Christians and Jews. Dali sculpted the rugged height of Mount Sinai dominating the background with the tablet almost part of the rock. Divine sunlight streams over the scene and rays of power dart from the surface graven with Hebrew letters. Mankind is represented by tiny figures at the base of the mountain and the feet of Moses, the Lawgiver, who towers over ordinary men as Sinai towers over the desert. Ten Commandments Bas Relief in Gold, Museum Edition. The sculpture depicts Moses receiving the tablets containing the Ten Commandments from heaven atop Mount Sinai. Each piece was stamped, plated, backed, and hand finished. Published by Levine and Levine in Brooklyn, New York. Authenticated by Albert Field of the Salvador Dali Archives. Appraisal by Richard Ruskin of the Salvador Dali Registry.
