Hanukkah lamp

Unicorn Hannukah lamp. This Polish, cast brass lamp can be mounted on a wall or placed in a window or on a table. On the backrest, two lions hold an oil jug. The lion on the right hand-side seems to be a unicorn but its horn is probably the now broken holder of the ninth candle, the shamash. However, unicorns do appear in the judaica of the Polish regions.
