Clément Floch

Rare spinning top (Dreidel), handmade from a cow's bone by a Jewish artist from Austria in the 1930s. This spinning top is among the last remaining in the free market.
Spinning Top is designed for the children's games on Chanukah to intrigue them about the history of the holiday.
Letters from the traditional holiday are inscribed on the spinning-top: "A great miracle happened there" that refers to the Jewish Maccabean war against the powerful Greek army in ancient times and the victory of the few Maccabees on the strong Greek army.
The other miracle that happened during the war is that a small oil jug that remained in the temple which was supposed to suffice for one day,  supplied oil to the candlelight for eight days to the famous temple lamp. Because the temple lamp should always light up.
