These unique pieces were excavated recently in Uman, Ukraine, a region rich in Jewish history and home to the burial site of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, making them a poignant link to pre-Holocaust Jewish life. Crafted from lead or a similar soft metal alloy, each dreidel measures approximately 2.5 cm in height and 1 cm across and bears the classic Hebrew inscriptions. The wear and patina suggest they date back to the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when such items were common in Eastern European shtetls. Ideal for Judaica collectors, historians, or antique enthusiasts, these artifacts come with a rustic charm and historical value.

Sold as-is; handle with care due to potential lead content. Perfect for adding to a collection or as a cultural keepsake.
