  Sacred and Ritual  Hanukkah lamp

"להדליק נר חנוכה" The standing back-walled Hanukah^lamp is made of brass and consists of a row of oil containers in the form of a bench, a back wall, a shamash candle socket and legs. The bench-like row of oil containers is composed of eight rectangular spouted containers and is fastened to the back wall. The oval back wall is decorated with a tiered seven^branched^Menorah, flanked by two rampant^lions facing in, standing atop a semi-circular band. An inscription appears on an oval band at the feet of the lions: "To kindle the Hanukah light." The oval frame of the back wall has a five pointed coronet in its center supporting a vase shaped holder for the shamash.
