Nimrod (sculpture)

[4] In the sculpture, Nimrod, the biblical hunter, is depicted as a lean youth, naked and uncircumcised, with a sword on his back and a hawk perched on his shoulder.

In 1952, the sculpture appeared in an exhibition of the Israel Painters and Sculptors Association in the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.

Yitzhak Danziger sculpted "Nimrod" from Nubian sandstone, which was brought from the Nabatean city of Petra in Jordan by Arab workers of the Dead Sea Works.

The counterfeit copy was sold for 22,000 dollars to a person named Arnold Druck, who then decided to put it up for auction.

After legal intervention by Dazinger's widow, Sonia, the counterfeit sculpture was removed from sale, and subsequently destroyed following a court order.
