A Shiviti is a meditative representations of a candlestick used in some Jewish communities for the contemplation of God's name.

The beautiful examples here are from the late 1800s through the early 1900s.

There is folk art sensibility that defines these works on paper, which was generally the case for Jewish religious art made in villages or small towns.

These works would have been created for Jews with a mystical orientation.
