Cast Brass 20th Century Menorah Reproduction by The Israel Museum
This menorah is based on a 20th century menorah from Poland featured in the collection of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The design is reminiscent of medieval Hanukkah lamps from Spain and southern Italy, which subsequently spread to other regions of Europe. While this lamp preserved the triangular shape of those early prototypes that were meant to be hung on the wall, its three legs make it possible to stand it on a table or windowsill, as was the local custom. Another novel element is the Star of David, a symbol of the rising Zionist movement that became a popular decorative motif on ceremonial objects in the early 20th century.
Fits most standard size Hanukkah candles. Candles sold separately. Do not leave candles lit unattended.
