A Stone Hanukkah Lamp, Jerusalem or Yemen Circa 1900

About the Item

A Stone Hanukkah Lamp dating back to around 1900 and originating from either Jerusalem or Yemen represents a significant artifact with both religious and cultural importance. A Hanukkah lamp, also known as a Hanukkiah, is used during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah to commemorate the miracle of the oil. It typically holds eight candles plus the Shamash (servant lamp) which is typically used to light the others. This Hanukkah lamp is hand carved of stone with eight deep arched oil wells and a protuberant similarly formed servant lamp at its top center. It was crafted using local materials and traditional techniques. Stone is durable and significant in both Jewish and Yemeni cultures, often symbolizing strength, endurance, and permanence. This Stone Hanukkah Lamp from this period provides a tangible connection to the history, traditions, and religious observance of Jewish communities in either Jerusalem or Yemen around the turn of the 20th century. It serves as a testament to the enduring cultural heritage and craftsmanship of these communities, encapsulating the significance of Hanukkah as a celebration of faith, resilience, and cultural identity.
