Menoroth

Representations of five-branched menoroth are uncommon in such reliefs, although they are found on mosaic floors, lamps, etc.²⁶ […] human heads (Pl. 62: C), probably decorative inlays for wooden boxes; a glass bracelet ornamented with menoroth; a mirror frame made of soft limestone and carved with two pillars supporting a gable; and an incense burner […]

It was much larger than the niche or aediculae, and, therefore, could house the Ark and probably the menoroth which were also needed in the ceremony.

Three plaques are decorated with menoroth (IS15.1-3; Figure II-35; Pls. II-65-66). On one plaque, two menoroth flank a Torah shrine; one has the menorah carved under the façade of a structure; on another a menorah is flanked by birds and architectural designs.
