I guess today, after the Holocaust, it will be hard to manufacture or sell such ashtrays, since they evoke associations of WWII horrors, but when this beauty was created it was long before these events, and even long before cigarettes became notorious.

Zion Flag

Star of David and stripes

The Star of David and stripes in this image are basically modified Sierpinski Triangles that have been duplicated "tiled" to create the design. Dedicated to Ze'ev.

I don’t understand what’s the difference between the Israeli flag and Zion Flag but I’m sure that Jennie knows the answer.
