Description from the seller

Magnificent seven-branched menorah made of solid brass with a gold finish. This piece combines deep symbolic meaning with a warm, timeless aesthetic, ideal as a precious collectible, ritual element, or refined vintage decorative accessory.

Classic seven-branch line arranged linearly on a solid, finely decorated circular base. The menorah is one of the oldest and most iconic symbols of Jewish culture and Middle Eastern history. Unlike the nine-branched candelabrum (the Hanukkiah), the seven-branched version faithfully reproduces the ancient candelabrum described in the Bible (Book of Exodus), originally forged in pure gold to illuminate the Tabernacle in the desert and later the Temple in Jerusalem.

Its seven branches enclose millennial meanings:
- Creation: They represent the seven days of the world's creation, with the central branch symbolizing Shabbat (the day of rest).
- Knowledge: They symbolize the pursuit of divine wisdom and the light of spirituality that spreads across the world.
- The Tree of Life: The branched form evokes the indissoluble bond between the earthly and the heavenly realms.
