| Reverse description | Central design features a Hanukkah lamp of Egyptian origin, dating to the 19th century, set within a Star of David-shaped incuse. Three stylized floral motifs emerge from the corners of the star, with a miniature Star of David at the center of the composition. The lamp bears a Hebrew inscription from Proverbs 6:23: 'כִּי נֵר מִצְוָה וְתוֹרָה אוֹר' ('For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light'). Below the lamp, a Hebrew legend identifies the artifact as 'חנוכייה ממצרים, המאה ה-19' ('A Hanukkah lamp from Egypt, 19th century'). The overall composition is rendered in fine detail within the incuse star relief. |
