History / Biographical: Dora Lepidus Kriger, 1896-1986, was born in Belarus, was brought to NYC as an infant, and spent her adolescence and the first several years of her marriage to Jacob Kriger, 1893-1965, in Ottawa. The family relocated to Brockville in 1930 so that Jacob could find work during the Depression. They started a ladies’ wear store at that time. After Dora and Maynard closed the store in 1974, they both moved back to Ottawa where they were members of Congregation Beth Shalom. All are buried at the Bank Street cemetery.

Custodial History: Pins were owned by Dora Ledpidus Kriger

Scope and Content: The lamp is sitting in a velvet hollow in an olive wood box. A paper scroll in the box states that the olive wood comes from trees surround Jerusalem, and an inscribed copper plate on the inside of the box is made from copper from the ancient mines of King Solomon in the Negev desert, and that the glass ring holding the scroll was made in Hebron, one of the world's oldest cities (the glass ring is missing). The scroll also says that the lamp is made of burnt clay and was unearthed in the Holy Land. It dates from the Roman Byzantine period.
