Hanukkah lamp. [Morocco-Israel, first half of the 20th century].
Cast, embossed and engraved brass.
The shape of the back plate is reminiscent of Marrakesh Hanukkah lamps (mostly made of sheet brass) from the 19th and 20th centuries, and of Dutch Hanukkah lamps of the 18th and 19th centuries, but the lamp may have been produced in Eretz Israel.
Back plate decorated with vegetal motifs. In the center is the shamash, surmounting a medallion with the Hebrew inscription "These lights are holy".
Length: 23 cm, width: 19.5 cm. The oil fonts and shamash are soldered onto the lamp.
See next item (apparently, both lamps were made by the same artist).
