Hanukkah lamp

The Hanukkah lamps made of silver filigree, which are decorated with the pillars of the Temple of Jerusalem, a small replica of the Torah ark, a crown and a double-headed eagle, were developed in Galicia and in the area of today’s Ukraine. There are small jars to contain the flames, recalling the jar of oil of the Hanukkah story. This type spread from the 1820s, and since 1928 it has been known as the Baal Shem Tov type of Hanukkiah, named after the famous Galician rabbi.

The historicizing Hanukkah lamp was made from the relatively cheap alpaca and ornamented with common Jewish symbols.Oil pots or stearin candles, which were by then available at a low price, could be placed in the stick-out part with the shape of a manger.
