Perhaps one of the most original Hanukkah menorahs in the collection is this "lion Menorah" which originated in late 19th century Germany. The back panel is decorated with a motif similar to upholstery, and in its center a bouquet of flowers and leaves. The edges of the menorah are decorated with a plant like motif as well.  

​

The wick holders are made in the shape of eight lions made of silver. Each lion sits in front of an arched alcove. The lions are graded by posts and chains and they look as if they are honorary guard lions of the lit Menorah. Their silver mane done to perfection, their tales, resting closely to their bodies.
