King of Spain Seder plate by Avi Biran

The Seder plate, customized specifically for King Juan Carlos the second of Spain, celebrated the occasion of the 500th anniversary and reconciliation of the expulsion of Spanish Jewry in 1492. Due to the fact that the plate was designed as a symbol of historical reconciliation between the Spanish and Jewish communities, certain motifs manifest themselves. Firstly, the Spanish armada composed of six sailboats is placed on the Star of David. Farther, the Star of David metamorphoses into a fascinating design composed of arrows arranged in 3 layers for the Matzot, symbolizing the expulsion of the Spanish Jews from Spain. The sails of the boats are shaped into a single pomegranate fruit and the Spanish crown. The sails can open into a flower shape, thus revealing all the traditional components of the Seder plate.
