Hanging lamp (memorial lamp?) for the synagogue. [North Africa? Near East?, late 19th or early 20th century].
Cast, repoussé, embossed and punched silver; chiseling.
At the bottom of the lamp is a silver bowl for oil or light vessel. Three chains are attached to a lid-like hanger decorated with fine vegetal motifs. Attached to the rim of the hanger are rings hung with hamsas (hand decorations). Chain for hanging.
Height: about 45 cm. Good condition. Slight bends and defects. The decoration at the bottom of the bowl is not original. The bowl or the hanger may have originally had another use, and were reused when preparing this lamp.
