Pocahontas Disney Menorah Repurposed Figure with Dreidel

The figure at the center of this menorah is a repurposed Pocahontas toy, mounted on a wood plaque the artist painted in acrylic and fitted with aluminum candle cups. A small turned wooden dreidel serves as the shamash beside her.

It takes standard-size Chanukah candles, the kind that come by the box, and at 6 inches tall with the figure in place it sits on a windowsill or a side table for all eight nights. Plenty of families keep a silver menorah for the adults and set this one out for the children.

• Repurposed toy figure on a hand-painted wood plaque
• Aluminum candle cups, wood dreidel as shamash
• Rectangular base 7 inches long by 5 inches wide, 6 inches tall including the figure
• Fits standard Chanukah candles

Built one at a time from a found figure, so yours will differ in small ways. Treat it as decorative art: there is wood and plastic in it, and lit candles are never left alone.
