    At least I think it's a woodcut. Paper feels like rice paper. It looks like Hebrew writing in the stone wall. Mounted between lucite. Any thoughts on this would be welcome and appreciated. Thanks for any help at all.

    Looks like pen and ink?
    There is an artis Eli Helman with similar works.
    I see he signs using first and last name.

    I saw him too. I think he was born in 1978. Thanks for helping.

    It was mounted between very heavy pieces of acrylic. I thought somewhere in Israel maybe? It looks like Hebrew on the wall.

    Thought the writing on the wall might say 'Bezalel'. It doesn't, but the word does end 'LEL'. @komokwa

    I found a photo from a similar angle. Definitely looks like the Tower of David, to me anyway. Thanks again for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I really do appreciate it.

    More likely a lino-cut.
