Extent: Hanukkah lamp : sculpted relief : silver ; Ht: 5,5 in. x W: 8,75 in.
Scope & content: 8 candle holders mounted against an elaborately sculpted relief background. The background is in the shape of a crown with scalloped edges; in the centre are represented the Tablets of stone flanked by two lions rampant. The candle holders are shaped like small pots and balanced on a bar. There is a handle on each side and a hollowed-out space beneath them to catch wax drippings. The whole is balanced on four small, elaborately patterned pad feet. The back is undecorated, designed to be laid flat against a wall; there are two interlocking rings near the top from which the lamp can be hung.
