This item is a Contemporary Vintage Amber Crystal / Resin Hanukkah Dreidel with Goldtone Metal Old City Jerusalem Scene Engravings. Manufactured under the Copa Judaica / Legacy Judaica brand line (Item/SKU #521A), this piece features four embedded gold-etched architectural relief panels depicting landmark views of the Old City of Jerusalem (including Jaffa Gate, Tower of David, Dome of the Rock / Temple Mount vista, and Western Wall / Hurva area monuments).
The top plate is constructed from gold-plated brass featuring cast piercing/cutout detailing revealing the underlying amber crystal body. The cutouts on the top brass plate form the four Hebrew letters corresponding to the Israeli tradition: נ (Nun), ג (Gimmel), ה (Hey), and פ (Pei), which spell out the acronym for "נס גדול היה פה" (Nes Gadol Hayah Poh – "A Great Miracle Happened Here").
Reflecting post-modern Judaica designs of the late 20th century, this dreidel pairs warm amber optical resin with architectural gold-etched vignettes of Jerusalem's historical skyline. Modernist structural geometry meets historic religious iconology through clean brass work and Israeli iconography
