The trapezoid Torah mantle comprises a cloak attached to a round top, with a vertical back opening.
It is decorated on its upper front with a crown, topped by an apex, shaped as a Star of David. Below the crown is a Judeo Spanish (Ladino) dedicatory inscription embroidered in square, filled letters, which reads:
"הקדש די לה'/ סיניורה רוזה די אליהו/ יאודה פור סוס דיפונטוס/ יום טוב א' בילייאה/ אמבראם יוסף אי שבתאי/ אי אברהם אי איסטיר/ אי דולסה (ב)ן סאנג'י שבתי/ אי רשל יהודה אי שרה/ אטאס התרפב (5682)."
"Dedicated to the Lord by Roza (wife) of Elijah Judah in memory of the souls of her dead (relatives): Yom Tov and Bella Ambram (Abraham), Joseph and Shabbetai, and Abrahamand Istir (Esther) and Dulse son of Sangi Shabbetai, and Rachel Judah and Sarah Attas 5682 (1922)."
The inscription is set above two scrolled stems with leaves, bound by a ribbon.
The round top has two openings for the Torah staves. A fringed strip surrounds the top and the bottom edges of the cloak.
