Hanukkah lamp

Silversmith: Rotger (Rudiger) Herfurth

back has openwork design with lions flanking a cartouche with a menorah; light incised lattice design on top of lamp compartment cover; tiny lions on domed feet; cover of lamp compartment detaches from the main lamp body when it is opened more than 75%, possibly due to the fact that it seems to be missing a hinge pin on the "back left" hinge.
