A JEWISH GLASS PENDANT DEPICTING MENORAH, 1ST - 2ND CENTURY

This rare and historically significant Jewish glass pendant, dating from the 1st to 2nd century, features a depiction of the Menorah, the seven-branched candelabrum that is one of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith. The pendant, crafted from deep amber glass with rich red undertones, is a remarkable example of early Jewish art and religious symbolism.


The Menorah design, though weathered by time, remains visible on the surface, offering a profound connection to the ancient world and the enduring faith of the Jewish people. The pendant's craftsmanship highlights the skill of ancient glassmakers, with the delicate, rounded form preserving the distinctiveness of the Menorah motif.
