Hanukkah Bezalel Menorah, made in Israel. It is copper cast. It is missing the the Shamosh, servant light. This candle Menorah was made in Israel by the Bezalel Art Academy, which was in operation from the early 1900s-1930s. The name Bezalel Jerusalem is on the top of the front, above the Star Of David (see photo). It is beautifully detailed, embossed and ornate with all the Jewish motifs. It shows the Holy Temple entrance, supported by massive pillars and a 7 branch menorah, protected by 2 lions, in the center. Where the candles are, there is some discoloration. I’m not sure if it was an oil menorah originally. I’ve seen it priced from 500-2800, the same style and size and Bezalel. Thanks for any help!!
