A Stone Hanukkah Lamp dating back to around 1900 and originating from either Jerusalem or Yemen represents a significant artifact with both religious and cultural importance.
A Hanukkah lamp, also known as a Hanukkiah, is used during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah to commemorate the miracle of the oil. It typically holds eight candles plus the Shamash (servant lamp) which is typically used to light the others.
