Priestly Blessing Hands Oak Sculpture, Birkat Kohanim Wooden Relief with Tallit, Judaica Home Decor, Jewish Wedding Gift

Two raised hands emerge above a draped tallit in this solid oak sculpture inspired by the Priestly Blessing, also known as Birkat Kohanim. The distinctive arrangement of the fingers forms the focal point, framed by a simple rounded backdrop that keeps attention on the gesture.

The palms face outward, with individually sculpted fingers, visible creases, and gently curved thumbs. Below them, the prayer shawl falls in overlapping folds toward the integrated base. Parallel stripes follow its angled edges, while hanging tassels add detail along both sides.

The balanced composition combines the expressive shape of the hands with the flowing movement of fabric. Deep folds create shadow beneath the wrists and through the center of the shawl, giving the relief a sense of depth within its narrow format.

Carved in solid oak and finished with a contrasting dark patina, the sculpture highlights raised surfaces against shaded recesses. Natural wood grain remains visible across the hands, garment, and backdrop, bringing warmth and texture to the design.
