Sculpture, Chanoekia - 17 cm - Brass - 1920

Antique/Vintage Chanukiah (9-arm Menorah) with Star of David and Lion's Paw Feet
Description: Beautiful and characteristic Jewish Chanukiah menorah (Judaica).

This traditional nine-armed menorah features eight arms in a row for the Chanukah candles and a centrally placed, elevated arm for the shamash (servant), beautifully crowned with an open-work Star of David. The menorah rests on a richly decorated, sturdy base supported by three distinctive legs in the form of lion's claws (Lions of Judah). The piece is in a lovely, authentic condition with a patina gained through age and minimal wax residues. A very atmospheric and meaningful piece of history for the collector of religious artifacts and Judaica.
