The museum notes: "The cylindrical body is mounted upon a round wooden base and is made of wooden hinge. Silver strips are attached on the openings and edges of the case. The strips are decorated with a flower with branches. Two silver plaques, shaped as the Tables of Covenant, appear on both sides of the opening. The plaques bear inscriptions from right to left in square filled letters. The right plaque bears the beginning of the ten Commandments: five on each side. The left plaque bears a dedicatory inscription. It reads:
“Dedicated to the Lord for the repose of the soul of the youth/ The honorable Rabbi Avraham/ Manzur Halevi/ who passed away/ at the 25 of Nissan/ 5(676) = 1916 May his soul be bound up in the bond of life.”
A Star of David with inscription “Zion” in the middle is mounted on each of these plaques. The inscription is written from right to left, in square filled letters.
A coronet is mounted on the Torah case and is attached to the upper edge of the case.A strip, decorated with circles, appears on the bottom edge of the coronet. Identical arches, which cross one another, rise from this strip. The arches are decorated with circles. A similar floral design appears in the center of each arch. A different floral design, which reminds of a Palmette, reappears in the inner sides of the arches."
