Enrich the Great Bookחנוכייה מאבן מגולפת מתימן
Description
In Yemen, lacking precious metals, the Hanukkah lamp was often carved from soft stone, hollowed with eight oil cups in a row and a backplate of geometric motifs. A humble object, it attests to the ingenuity of an ancient and isolated community.
