meir ben ammi, “hanukkah lamp made of tin intended for sardine cans,” c.1950, cut plates and strips of tin, scraps of cloth, and pieces of glass
This unique Hanukkah lamp is made of strips of printed tin that were originally intended for sardine cans. Alms boxes were regularly made of the same material. In Morocco, canning sardines was a predominantly Jewish industry, especially along the western coast. The lamp was created by Meir Ben Ammi, who was born in Mazagan, Morocco, in 1910, where he worked with his father as a tinsmith. In 1955 he immigrated to Israel and settled in Beit She’an.
