The document describes artifacts created by students to represent the culture of the Moshiite people. The artifacts include a fishing rod, hoe, huppah (wedding canopy), musical instrument, tzedahka box (charity box), gavel, Torah scroll, map, and directional sign. The artifacts show that the Moshiite culture engaged in activities like fishing, farming, marriage ceremonies, music, charity, law, religion, navigation, and signage. The artifacts were made from materials like cardboard, string, and paper to represent what the original artifacts may have looked like made from wood, bone, stone, parchment, and other natural materials.

1. Moshiite’s

2. • This is our mural. In the background is our righteous leader
Moses getting the torah. Moses getting the torah is our
symbol. The pictures show our universals, and what our
culture values. If a person looked at our mural they would be
able to tell what our culture is like and where they live.

3. Here we are working on artifacts

4. This is a fishing rod. I made it out of cardboard, yarn and a
paper clip. It shows that our culture fished for food. I think
in real life they would have made it out of a stick, wool for
the yarn, and iron for the hook.

5. This is a hoe. It was made of cardboard
and string.
This would have been made of bone,
stone, or wood.
They used it for farming.

6. This is huppah. This shows that we got
married. It is made out of cardboard and
paper. In real life I think it would be made
out of linen, wood, and decorations. At
wedding about to get married couples
would stand under it while doing the
ceremony.

7. This was use for playing music.
This would have been made of some sort
of string and wood.
We made this out of cardboard and
string.

8. This is a Tzedahka box. It is made
out of tape, and cardboard. In real
life this would have been made out
of wood. This shows us that in our
culture we give to the poor and
care about the poor.

9. This is a gavel. It was made of cardboard
and string. The judges used this for
solving the problem in a court case.
This shows that we had judges.

10. This is Torah. We made this out of
cardboard, paper, and nice purple yarn. In
real life a Torah would be made out of
wood, parchment paper, and linen to
wrap it. This shows us that in our culture
we believe in God and pray to God.

11. This is a map. It was made of cardboard,
tape, and stained paper. This would have
been made on papyrus, or parchment.
This was used to show where they lived.

12. This is a sign pointing in the direction of where we live. It translates
to the Moshiite people. I made this artifact out of card board and I
used scissors to cut out an arrow. I wrote the words in ancient
Hebrew. This addresses geographic setting as well as communication.
Our culture used this sign so people knew where they were.
