Stainless Steel and Enamel

H 17 X L 270 mm

9 candle holders Dia 14 mm

A ceremonial lamp for the Festival of Lights                                         

This contemporary design of an ancient object—the Hanukiah, which holds candles lit on the holiday of Hanukah—reflects my tie to Jerusalem. My photographic images of olive trees in Jerusalem, printed and fused onto an enamelled steel plate, form the top surface of the Hanukiah.

The Sterling Silver candleholders are not fixed but magnetically attached to the steel enamelled  base, so that they can be moved each day in new designs, thereby engaging the user in a creative process.

This object can also be used for Shabbat candles during the rest of the year.
