==History== A flat bronze chandelier, featuring twelve candle holes, was found in Makr. It features an [[Aramaic]] inscription along its entire circumference, as well as depictions of two [[Temple menorah|menorahs]], [[lulav]]s, and [[shofar]]s, indicating a Jewish context. The text references [[Kfar Hananya]], suggesting that the chandelier belongs to an ancient [[synagogue]] that was located there. It is today in the [[Musée royal de Mariemont]], [[Morlanwelz]], [[Belgium]].<ref>{{Citation |title=LXIX.
