Intro

Bring an old world presence to your Hanukkah table with a menorah shaped like a sculptural relic pulled from the ground. Nine tapered branches rise unevenly from a single strip base, evoking the raw, weathered look of an ancient find from the Holy Land. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, the piece channels archaeology inspired decor into a modern ritual object with real character.

Build and Use

Cast from aluminum, the menorah carries the visual weight of aged copper or iron while staying light and easy to handle. Each branch holds a standard 1 cm Hanukkah candle, with the raised shamash set apart from the row. The piece measures 10.6 x 2.4 x 4 inches, sized for a shelf, mantel, or console as easily as the Hanukkah table itself. It also comes in an iron look finish for a cooler, weathered tone.

Gift Ideas

This menorah suits anyone drawn to Jewish history, archaeology inspired decor, or ancient art with a modern edge. It works well as a housewarming or engagement gift for a couple building a Jewish home, and fits a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary just as naturally. Its compact size and sculptural form make it a memorable gift beyond Hanukkah gift lists too.

Care Instructions

Wipe the menorah clean with a soft, dry cloth, and remove any wax drips once fully cooled. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking, which can dull the bronze tone finish over time.
