Juventino Lopez Reyes is a well-known Mexican silversmith, highly sought after among silver collectors for his superb designs and quality workmanship. This hanukkiah, or Hanukkah menorah, is elegant in its simplicity. Triangular in form, it carries a Star of David between the center peak and the base.
