Hanukkah lamp consisting of a base on four feet with eight vase-shaped oil holders and a decorative backplate with an irregular shape. The base is profiled, with three arching bulges. Eight vases with wide rims are attached to the base in a straight row with screws. The shape of the backplate resembles a cartouche. It is decorated with a rocaille ornament and beading along the rim and topped with a six-pointed star. In the centre of the backplate, there is an image of the Tablets of the Law supported by lions standing on hind legs. Above, there is a five-arch hoop crown. In the top part of the backplate, on the right, there is a flattened holder for an oil jug, and on the left – a small round opening, probably the original place for attaching the shammash. An additional oil holder (shammash) is attached to the centre top part of the lamp (probably added at a later date).

The item forms part of the prewar collection of the National Museum of Przemyśl.
