Artifact Overview

Hanukkah celebrates the 164 B.C.E. victory of a small rebel army, the Maccabees, over the Jews' Syrian-Greek oppressors and the miracle of a small amount of oil lasting eight days in the defiled temple's lamp. Fried potato pancakes, or latkes, are a Hanukkah food staple. The base holds the latkes while the raised bowl is for its classic accompaniment--applesauce.
