Three miniature Jews. In the middle, a miniature of a caricature Jew clutching a Polish coin that I was given as a “favor”—good luck charm—at the Anatewka restaurant in Lodz, Poland. It is flanked by two Jewish men made out of marzipan that I bought at the kosher pastry shop in Budapest. They are destined for the Jewish market, as decorations for bar mitzvahs or other festive events.
