Description
A nagyon egyszerű, lengyel hanukai menóra igazi "recycling" tárgy: perforált hátlemeze rézboletták gyártási maradéka, melyre utólagosan illesztettek egy feltehetően más tárgyról átkerült Napoleón-büsztöt. Napóleon alakjában a lengyel zsidók a felszabadítót, jogi helyzetük rendezőjét látták, ezért kerülhetett alakja a szertartási tárgyra.
This very simple Polish Hanukkah menorah is a genuine recycling object. Its perforated back plate is the residue of grain tokens made of brass, on which the bust of Napoleon was retrofitted from a presumably different object. The Polish Jews saw their political and legal liberator in the figure of Napoleon, and for this reason his figure could appear on this ceremonial object.
