Hanukkah lamp with a base shaped like an elongated channel divided into eight sections, with openwork backplate and side walls. In the centre of the openwork backplate, there is an image of an eight-pointed star inscribed into a circle, supported by two stylised lions, one on each side. Above the star, there is a simplified crown topped with a circular hook for hanging the lamp. The openwork side walls are lower than the backplate. They are supported on arched feet with ball-shaped bases. A semi-circular arm with an oil holder is placed by each foot. The base is attached to the backplate with three screws.

The item was purchased for the collection of the National Museum of Przemyśl from the local branch of the Desa enterprise in 1982.
