An early cloth case with the seven-star flag proposed by Herzl for the Zionist movement. The first decades of the 20th century. Very rare.

This flag shape is based on Theodor Herzl's suggestion in his book "Der Judenstaat": "I imagine a white flag with seven golden stars shining. The white sheet will signal the purity of our new life. And the seven gold stars signaled our seven hours of work a day. Because in the name of work, the Jews who walk to their new land will cling".

Apparently used for a card or document related to the Zionist Congress.

22x11 cm. Good condition.
