Elegant, stylized, 1950s, vintage, Verdigris and Brass mid century modern menorah by Dayagi of Israel.
Cast in solid brass,, the menorah has a substantial presence and beautifully developed surface patina.
The warm brassy tones transition into deeper areas of oxidation, emphasizing the contours of the sculpted peacock and giving the piece a richly dimensional appearance.
Dayagi pieces are particularly appreciated for this combination of sculptural form, cultural symbolism, and mid-century craftsmanship. Menorahs of this character were intended to be meaningful objects within the home, equally suited to ritual use and display.
The dove itself carries longstanding associations with beauty, renewal, vitality, and immortality, giving the menorah an additional layer of symbolism beyond its traditional Hanukkah purpose.
Measurements
8” L x 6”
The menorah would make an impressive addition to a collection of Israeli art, Judaica, Mid-Century Modern sculpture, or brass/verdigris decorative objects, and can be displayed year-round as a sculptural work.
