It's so strange, some posts from that thread have disappeared.
I distinctly remember posting a reply to Koen G there about those arches.
In essence, what I was saying was that the two central arches remind me of the two stone tablets on which the 10 commandments are inscribed. The parallel hatching on the sides of the arches actually shows them in 3D. The tables of the Law are frequently featured at the base of menorahs.
I had posted some examples which I can't find now, I'm traveling and don't have access to my files.
