About the Item
This Hanukkah lamp sculpture is truly spectacular with its artistic realism and graphic detailing on its front main body.
Displayed at front is the scene of the Jewish people returning to Israel with Holy Menorah used in the ancient times of the temple.
Seven men are depicted in this scene dressed in flowing robes as tradition in those times with the Holy Menorah resting on a palanquin being carried on their shoulders as a number of them blow the shofar (trumpets) joyously.
In the background are two tall Greek columns on either side of the center scene with a sandy foreground.
The Greek columns and all the features of the main scene are a representation of the miracle that took place on Hanukkah;
During the times of the second temple Israel was under Greek rule, the Greeks had defiled the temple and took from it all the holy vessels used in the daily rituals of the temple.
The Maccabeans rose up and defeated the Greeks and returned the temple and all its vessels to their original intended holy purposes.
Inscribed under the row of eight flaring cups and the ascending stepped base are the words
"Restore my House of Prayer and there we will bring a Thanksgiving offering"
protuberantly displayed in Hebrew.
Signed and dated at both lower sides of the Hanukkah lamp.
