In baroque style, three miniature lion paws hold
up the round base, decorated with lion heads
and floral relief along the base’s edge. The lamp
resembles the shape of a temple menorah with
eight branches that radiate symmetrically from
the Central branch. An additional branch and a
jug for oil are attached to the leg. An eagle with
outstretched wings forms finial.
