description: Close-up photograph of a stained-glass window pane depicting a
 wooden platter in the shape of a Jewish star with a double eagle at the center
 and the date 1770 (in Hebrew).  It is one of more than two dozen circular
 stained-glass discs created in 1947 for the sanctuary of Fort Worth's Temple
 Beth-El; most of the images were copied from a book on Jewish treasures to
 represent a collection of Judaica in miniature.  This kind of platter is meant
 to hold Matzo at Passover.  The double eagle is a symbol of the
 Austro-Hungarian Empire.   When Beth-El moved in August of 2000, this pane was
 removed, framed and presented to Broadway Baptist Church, Beth-El's long-time
 neighbor on Broadway Avenue on the city's near Southside.
