This is a Master-Grade Shoshany Jerusalem Stone Menorah, an investment-quality piece far superior to the common mass-produced souvenir versions. While unsigned blocks (such as those by the Cabasso studio) are frequently found for lower prices, this Shoshany piece represents the highest tier of 1990s Jerusalem artisan stonecraft.
Key Differences for the Collector:
-
Artisan Signature: This piece is hand-stamped by the artist on the reverse, a hallmark of boutique gallery pieces.
-
The "Footed" Advantage: Most stone menorahs are simple flat blocks. This premium model features integrated stone feet, elevating the bas-relief for a more sophisticated display.
-
Museum-Level Texture: The "Kotel" (Western Wall) face is carved with exceptional depth, capturing the rugged, ancient texture of the Herodian masonry in a way that cheaper, flatter versions cannot.
The Ultimate Set:
Included are 11 hand-thrown ceramic oil jugs. Finding a vintage set with even 9 jugs is rare; having two original spares ensures the set remains complete for generations.
