One of lilien’s most noted works was the plate done for martin buber. The plate is adorned with the walls of jerusalem in the shape of a shield of david, viewed from above. The inscription is a quote from the divine proclamation in leviticus 25:23, “mein ist das land” (mine is the land). This is an expression of buber's spiritual zionist view that the land of israel is god's possession. Date: 1901.
