This sculpture, rendered in stone, exudes a serene presence that will enhance any space with its tranquil aesthetic. The Menorah was proudly manufactured in old Mexico back in 1981.

It serves as a symbol of faith and devotion, a welcome addition to any home especially in today’s climate of subtle antisemitism.

This wonderful Menorah has survived, virtually unmarred for 46 years. Nothing like this example is manufactured anymore. There can not be many of these pieces of art still around in original completely intact condition.

A similar, yet badly damaged example was the centerpiece at a local synagogue. They received a second GOLD Gilded Menorah and requested that their Roth be relocated to a worthy new home. It was sold almost immediately, damage and all.

This one is an OUTSTANDING piece of preserved artwork.

The shipping weight is close to14 pounds and 10 ounces. This is a very large and heavy piece. The Rabbi measures 21 inches tall, 14 inches wide and 4.5 inches deep. Holiday time or not this beautiful sculpture makes a statement whenever and wherever it is displayed.
