Modernist lion menorah by Cara for the Rosenthal Judaica Collection

Here we have a weighty lion Chanukah Menorah made by Cara. The Chanukah menorah, also known as a hanukkiah, is essential for the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. It features nine branches: eight for candles or oil lamps, symbolizing the holiday's eight nights, with an additional light kindled each night until all are illuminated. The ninth branch, the shamash ("helper" or "servant"), is used to light the other candles. The lion motif adds significance, symbolizing strength and courage in Jewish tradition and representing the Tribe of Judah and Israel. This menorah's intricate detailing and solid craftsmanship make it both a functional item for Hanukkah and a beautiful piece of art. This menorah would make a lovely gift or a distinguished addition to your collection, bringing historical and cultural value to your home. Modernist menorah in the form of a lion by Cara for the Rosenthal Judaica Collection. Silver-plated brass. Apparently unmarked. Dimensions: H 8.5" x W 14.5" x D 2"
