About the Item

This spectacular Hanukkah lamp is ornately fashioned with a cast backplate featuring a heart shape at center flanked by two rampant Lions of Judah fiercely facing away from one another clutching flowing foliate branches. These magnificent lions are surmounted by a floral-bordered, eight-pointed authentic Star of David, topped by two dotted bird-shaped heads at its tip. Center inscription reads " Lighting the Candles of Hannukah" protuberantly written in Hebrew. Backplate is attached to the front platform that has eight deep pointed conical-shaped cups serving as oil containers. Hanukkah lamp rests on two wide attached legs at its sides.
