Chanukah lamp c. 20th century

This 20th century Chanukah lamp, crafted from brass, is a beautiful example of traditional Jewish religious art. Its design features a central, enclosed section for the candles, flanked by two chimneys on either side. The lamp’s hinged glass doors provide protection for the candles, while also allowing for a clear view of the flames. This object, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, would have served as a symbol of light and hope during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.
